Maundy Thursday Evening... a Tenebrae service with simple communion. This year adapted from a published liturgy entitled 'I was there' by David E Ridenhour, we heard from seven 'voices' who were there throughout Jesus' life but especially so during his final hours...
- Doubt
- Sorrow
- Fear
- Shame
- Agony
- Hate
- Death
We were, I think, seventeen or eighteen in total, gathered at the close of day to listen to scripture, to break bread, drink wine and hear the voices speak into the gathering gloom...
As always, a powerful and poignant way to begin the Easter weekend. Grateful to those who read, who washed up afterwards, and of course to those who participated with their quiet presence.
