The Anglican Archbishop of Sydney has called for Australians to dig deep and give generously to help the world's poor at Christmas time.
As Australia faces an economic downturn, now more than ever is the time to be generous, Dr Peter Jensen says.

"For some countries it is not just a downturn," he said. "They will need to grapple with a breakdown in their economic systems.

"The greatest inspiration to generosity that the world has ever known is Jesus.
