People from across our Diocesan community came together virtually this week in the lead up to Easter to celebrate the resurrection with a hymn commonly sung on Easter Sunday, ‘Thine be the Glory’. The virtual choir was coordinated by Resource Church, St Bart’s, Toowoomba
“Welcome to a most unusual Maundy Thursday…somehow the bread and the wine will remain unconsecrated until we are able to meet again in church…perhaps we will recognise again the latent potential for holiness in everyday things,” says Bishop Cam Venables.
“The Christian tradition says that Jesus was active in his love, active in his love of humanity, even in his death, and this is marked on Holy Saturday,” says Bishop John Roundhill
“As we come once again to the cross this Good Friday, we are called to remember that, like our ancestors, we also have choices to make at every intersection. We can be indifferent or engaged, apathetic or involved, overwhelmed or determined, fearful or hopeful,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves
“The resurrection shows us that there are no circumstances whatsoever in which God will abandon us. St Paul said nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God revealed in Jesus Christ. Such unshakable love frees us from fear and anxiety and releases us to serve others,” says Archbishop Phillip Aspinall
