The Church of England has launched its annual Christmas film, with a message of Comfort and Joy after a year like no other.

St Martin-in-the-Fields church in central London is to broadcast a national online service to mark the start of Advent this weekend as the nation prepares for a Christmas ‘like no other’ amid the coronavirus pandemic.

During the Christmas period, which would ordinarily see nearly 6 million people attend church buildings, Churches, chapels and cathedrals across the country are adopting a range of measures to allow people to come together as church, either virtually or in person.
