'Alternativity' to take a different look at Christmas

Service will hear from refugees and an activist in the West Bank

An event aiming to take a different look at Christmas, and those whose celebrations will be affected by conflict, takes place in Douglas this evening (5 December)

St Thomas's Church in Douglas is hosting 'Alternativity' - it will feature hymns with alternative lyrics focussing on countries impacted by war.

The service, organised by Churches Alive in Mann, will also hear from a Christian Palestinian activist based in the West Bank and children from Ukraine who are currently living on the Island as refugees.

It starts at 7.30pm.

Manx Radio's Judith Ley has been speaking to Christine Sugden and Phil Craine from the group alongside the vicar at St Thomas's Liz Hull:
