I notice friends and colleagues drawing attention to this remarkable 'Address-in-Reply' speech by the co-leader of the Green Party, Russel Norman. Someone has already described it in terms of being the best ever Christmas sermon preached by an atheist. I happily concur.
God uses the unlikeliest of servants!
The rest of the speech is here:

Go the Greens!!

I agree with your assessment, Peter. Except that, besides being the best sermon preached by any atheist; the sort of values the Greens Leader espouses - love and compassion for the needy and the despised and downtrodden - justice and mercy for all - makes his a better sermon than is sometimes preached by some conservative, Bible-believing, clergy in our so-called Christian Churches.
If God could use Balaam's ass to speak a word of caution to her master, God can certainly use a self-proclaimed 'atheist' - to preach the Gospel to better effect than a 'Believer'
prayers for you all after the latest shakes.
The Lord protect you all!

Thanks for pointing to this, Peter. I will use this on my site in the Christmas Season - with a H/T to you.

Thanks, Martin, for your prayer for our protection. It certainly worked. We have had wonderful services in the outdoors at St.Michael's - with a full Midnight mass, 8am PBC, and the Sung Mass at 10am - all without further Shakes - Deo gratias!
A Blessed Christmas Everyone!
