This is the first in a series of ICYA Christmas Features, a few short podcast episodes to accompany you through your holiday isolation. First up we have Andrew Reimer, a long-time Community Minister at ICYA, who wrote a poem a few years ago called This Isn't Bethlehem. In it Andrew explores the collision of joyful "Christmas values" with the difficult situations and pain that are a daily reality in the inner city - a reality that doesn't go away at Christmas time.
