Seeing life differently through Holy Week

“The liturgies of Holy Week can contribute to our becoming more empathetic by exposing us to situations that we have yet to encounter in our lives. This is because the events of Holy Week are recorded with details that allow us to identify the time of year and the days of the week on which they are located,”  says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt

"The story of Jesus is about God being with us"

“Our faith does not guarantee that life will be a bed of roses; that it will all work out ok. Rather it invites us to walk with one another into and through the complexities that life throws up. And then to discover through the gift of our solidarity God’s presence in the turmoil,” says The Very Rev’d Dr Peter Catt
