Keeping Holy Week is not the easiest when you suddenly find yourself surrounded by funerals.
Maundy Thursday, however, forces some reflection on Jesus the Servant. The story of Jesus washing his disciples feet is central to the Last Supper in John’s Gospel
I have often wondered what the church – and consequently the world – would be like if the central symbol of Christianity was not a cross, but a bowl and a towel.
Jesus – the one who serves.
It is revolutionary
Jesus – the leader would be more apt at times
At least it would be more apt for those in power within the church.
service and servanthood are things that seem to have dissonance for our time.
They are though what we most
and in Jesus we might find an or the appropriate model

I’ve just read ‘Erratic Vicar’, and I’m glad of it. You can get very intense, and it is great to see you just enjoying simple things. I’ve just been a for alovely walk in the pouring rain; loving the wind; I also went into the Bluebell Wood. Not only are the bluebells just coming,, but the wood anemones are out in force.
