The life of Austin Smith shows how practical Christianity can be at one with the most intense and searching theological and philosophical thought. As a priest working with the dispossessed and disempowered - in particular with the black community of inner-city Liverpool - he has transformed lives. Just as transforming has been the effect this work has had on his understanding and experience of God. Over many years he has put on paper the insights gained and the profound questions posed by the ongoing process of spiritual discovery. These never-before-published writings re-examine every aspect of faith, entering into the realms of mysticism as frequently as they plea for re-engagement with the everyday concerns of humanity.

An innovative Christmas musical for primary school children about a little Syrian refugee family making their way across a vast sea to safety. In the dark night they follow a shining star, and it keeps their hope alive. On the journey the father tells his son a story from a neighbouring village in Syria about another boy, born under a star a long, long time ago.
Christmas Refugees is packed full of catchy songs, jangling Syrian music for the camels and kings, a fun song about the poor old lost sheep which the shepherds left behind, an uplifting song from the angel chorus, and a hopeful, jubilant ending.
With parts for soloists, a whole school chorus, choir, recorders and percussion, all your school can be involved in the performance.
Synopsis
Christmas Refugees is a poignant musical that follows the journey of a young Syrian boy named Omar and his family as they navigate life in a refugee camp in Lebanon during the Christmas season. Despite the challenges they face, Omar's fascination with the story of Jesus and the three wise men inspires hope for a better future. As Christmas approaches, the family participates in a heart-warming Christmas play organised by fellow refugees, with Omar taking on the role of one of the wise men. Through the power of music and storytelling, the play brings a sense of joy and optimism to Omar and his family. The musical beautifully portrays the resilience of refugees and the significance of hope, faith, and community in the face of adversity. Refugees Christmas serves as a touching reminder of the true spirit of Christmas and the importance of empathy and support for those in need.

Like the occasional pieces written for examination purposes by Ravel and Debussy, they have a unique value.They have been slightly adapted by Alan Ridout to make useful manuals-only pieces for organ.
