Tis the time to be generous: archbishop


From Australia-

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.

In his heath annual Christmas Message, Dr Jensen spoke of the signs of financial difficulty in many parts of the world.

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

Christmas is the time to be generous, he says.

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