From South Africa-
A Kalk Bay priest had to think quickly and alter his Christmas Eve sermon after a figurine of the baby Jesus was stolen from the church’s nativity scene.
The 30cm figure went missing from the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Kalk Bay. The Reverend Canon Ronald Phillips said the empty crib was discovered just before the Christmas Eve service.
“About three hours before the service, we noticed that all the other figures were there, except the most important - the baby Jesus.”
But rather than panicking, Phillips used the figure’s absence as the central theme of his sermon.
He had told the congregation that Jesus’s absence did not mean a total absence - instead, he was “involved in the life of all the world”.
