About the Film

“If this isn’t the best news you’ve ever heard, you’ve misunderstood it.”

People from across London gathered at All Souls, Langham Place, to retell the nativity story. Featuring readings, a Christmas message, favourite carols (including performances from the London Community Gospel Choir), and special guest stars: donkeys, chickens and a baby in a manger.

All Souls presents ‘Good News for All People’.
