Few would disagree with St. John's conclusion that the nature of our conscious creator — of God — is love. In the Christian faith, it's at the heart of the two great commandments and inspires the whole amazing journey against all odds. But the word is totally absent from the Nicene Creed, repeated each Sunday in Churches. Christmas is the time to celebrate love in all its many splendours, but particularly to share love with children and young people. Let's hope that strategies announced by the UK Government over the last few days for children and young people are just the beginning, in terms of showing love for the generations who will follow us.
