CHRISTMAS a great time to fix feuds and forgive, Anglican Archbishop Peter Jensen says in his final Christmas message.
Dr Jensen, who retires in mid-2013, has called on people to be more just and generous.
"Reconciliation is a big theme for us Aussies," he said.
"Notably we need to be reconciled with each other - not least, (the) more recent immigrant settlers with our indigenous first people.
"Love unites us. Hatred separates us. But justice is in there too - reconciliation depends on justice being done.
"Sometimes we need to make good the fault, to pay back, to apologise, to repair, to mend.
"Sometimes, justice means that we take the hurt on ourselves and simply forgive the other person without demanding recompense."
Dr Jensen also referred to relationship stress during the Christmas period.
"Christmas is a great time to fix up the feuds and quarrels and hatreds which divide us," he said.
