Brian's story is that he can be found most days in Martin Place or Pitt St Mall offering to shine shoes or briefcases and this is how he makes his living. Originally from Melbourne and well known to Father Bob Maguire, Brian moved away to escape a life and circle of friends that affirmed and caused a struggle with a drug habit that would have killed him.
The irony of Christmas is the Jesus story confirms God engages with us, siding with people like Brian and calling us to be communities who care, act and bring change to better encourage others to be part of such hope and life giving communities.
Brian and others like him remind us of what it means to live, to struggle and to know the need for hope and practical care...
