“A great deal of ink, and even blood, has been spilled trying to make sense of the cross and why God might let an innocent man die in such a horrific way…It seems to me that rather than debate the merits or otherwise of one theory over another, it is better on Good Friday to simply hear the story… to hear the story of Good Friday and let it speak into our life here and now,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves
“What are your earliest memories of Holy Week and Good Friday? Amongst many memories I can remember outdoor worship, even in the cold climes of northern England…there is something powerful about hearing the story of Good Friday outdoors,” says Bishop John Roundhill
For the first time in many years, a Holy Week service at St John’s Cathedral will be broadcast to a national audience on ABC Television
“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
