Yesterday evening most of the regulars gathered at the local C of S for our shared service.  It was a very imaginatively enacted Stations of the Resurrection - a lesser known and lesser practised meditation to complement the better known and more overtly Roman Stations of the Cross.

It was done simply but beautifully, and was an embodied journey through stories of the resurrection across the gospels.  At some points we sang, but mostly we listened and imagined...

• The church garden: Mark 16: 1 - 8
• The church steps (it is a very fine, porticoed entrance with lots of steps and tall columns): Matthew 28:11 - 15
• The sanctuary, around the table, where we shared bread and wine: Luke 24: 13 - 27 then, after a hymn, 28 - 35
• An upper room, with the door closed: John 20: 19 - 25
• A hall, arranged with blue cloth and sea-washed pebbles, where we ate bread and fish: John 21: 1 - 14
• A connecting room, close to the exit of the building: John 21: 15 - 19

By no means every church has the facilities to create the spaces that we experienced, yet most could find spaces and places to create a hint of the various scenes.

It was a special end to a special day.  Thank you D and all at Duke's Boot Church (naff masking but I can't think of anything better just now)

Today, having been zapped I propose to zzzzzzzz - or at least blob - after a full and fulfilling weekend.
