Meditations at the Cross
- Fri April 18 @ 12:00 - 13:30
- Bristol Cathedral - College Green, Bristol
The first half of three-hour devotion on Good Friday, from noon to 3 pm (the hours Jesus was on the cross), during which there will be the opportunity to meditate on the meaning of the Crucifixion and commemorate Our Lord’s death with addresses, music and periods of silence.
You are very welcome to stay for all or part of the service.
Reflections led by Rachel Mann continuing the theme of The Gift of the Body: Meeting God as we are and are called to be.
Holy Week is the pivot point of the world: out of conspiracy, betrayal, denial, and death comes the redemption of all things. Our attention is centred on the body of one person – Jesus – and on a body of people who surround him, both friends and enemies. Drawing on art, literature and popular culture, Rachel Mann will explore how we – in our richly diverse, extraordinary human bodies – can locate our lives in fresh and exciting ways in the Body of the one who offers himself for the sake of shattered, troubled world.
