CHRISTIAN WOMEN ARE ANYTHING BUT 'CONFUSED, ANXIOUS AND BELITTLED' (Letter to Dom Post, Dec 17)

In Tips to help make the season jolly (Dec 17) Dr Cathy Stephenson advises planning good times with ‘helpful behaviours’.
 
The best Christmas times are had by forgetting oneself, giving generously to others, and going to church. In celebrating the birth of Christ, Christians rejoice in the intervention of the divine in human history, in the love and life of God shared with anyone who wants it. 

Christian women who live in that love are anything but ‘confused, anxious and belittled’, as Rosemary McLeod states in the same issue.
 
The advent of that child in Bethlehem offers all women their right to a real sense of purpose, peace of mind and potential to become other Christs.
