This year's Church of England Advent and Christmas theme reflects the current Covid crises. We hope that Comfort and Joy builds on the success of #FollowTheStar, the theme of the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.

Comfort and Joy  holds together the hope that Christmas will bring joy and celebration after a uniquely difficult year with an acknowledgement that – for those who have lost loved ones or livelihoods, or who are still not able to be together with loved ones – it may be the Church’s role, both nationally and locally, to provide consolation, rather than assume everyone will be ready to join in jubilation.
