“The women at the tomb were dismissed as telling ‘an idle tale’, yet their testimony changed the world.

Reflections
“The validity of Christianity hinges on the historicity of Jesus’ literal, bodily resurrection. If Jesus rose from the dead, Christianity is true — if he didn’t, it isn’t. There is a lot at stake! So, how can we be sure that Jesus’ resurrection is a historical fact?” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey
“St Bart’s, Toowoomba piloted a new initiative this year to help our community celebrate Easter. We launched our first art exhibition with over 80 artworks created by our congregation members. People from all three Sunday services participated, including the children. The theme for the artworks was ‘resurrection’,” says Diana Wong from Resource Church St Bart’s, Toowoomba
Bishop Jonathan Holland, former principal of St Francis Theological College, talks about the centrality of the Eucharist for Anglican Christians
“But what actually happened to Jesus between Good Friday and Easter Sunday? The fact that Jesus’ body was in the tomb is undisputed, but there are various conjectures about what happened to Jesus’ spirit, or soul,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey from St Andrew’s, Springfield
“But, on the third day/the stone rolled away/and he, astonishingly rose/to meet with his friends/who did not recognise him/until he called them by name,” says Bishop Cam Venables in his Easter Day poem
Four priests from across our Diocese tell us about their favourite passage from the Gospel of Luke, including The Rev’d Rebecca, The Rev’d Adam Lowe, The Rev’d Deb Bird and The Rev’d Michael Stalley
