Rev. Malcom Ranjith addressing the gathering said the true spirit of Christmas is not the decorations or enjoyment gained by eating and drinking, but uniting to understand the suffering of the underprivileged and to take steps to provide assistance to them.
He also emphasized the importance of all leaders to work with commitment in order to create a better future for the underpriviledged and eradicate poverty.
