  • Avoiding Easter Saturday [First Published in the Methodist
    P a g e | 1 Avoiding Easter Saturday [First published in the Methodist publication Momentum, Issue 7, Spring 2008] The teacher and writer Alan Lewis used to talk of workshops that he’d led on the theme of Easter. The trouble was, he said, that groups were happy to talk about Good Friday but then they wanted to jump forward to Easter Day as quickly as possible. That long hiatus of Easter Saturday, when Jesus lies alone in a borrowed tomb, was to be avoided. Was that, Alan wondered, because we simply don’t like talking about death? And yet, he said, if we believe that God lived in and through Jesus Christ then it’s important for us to think not only about what was happening to Jesus, dead and buried, but what was happening to God… also dead and buried. It’s a tough idea to get your head round – that God, too, experiences death on the cross and “knows how to die”. Alan came to understand that the God’s aloneness and despair on Easter Saturday is precisely that part of the Easter story that most closely mirrors so much of our own human experience. Three events of the last century, he suggests, bring into focus the sense of despair we so often feel about our world: Auschwitz Hiroshima Chernobyl … three events that represent the possibility of soulless inhumanity, a nuclear winter and, at Chernobyl, “the terrible possibility of planetary death… the ultimate eco-catastrophe”.

  • Lent and Easter
    Lent and Easter Religion Media Centre Collaboration House, 77-79 Charlotte Street, London W1T 4LP | [email protected] Charity registration number: 1169562 The Christian season of Lent starts in 2020 on 26 February, with Easter Day on 12 April EASTER The Easter story of Jesus crucified and rising from the dead, happened at the time of the Passover in Jerusalem, so the Christian Church celebrates Easter about the same time. The date of the Passover, however, depends on the Jewish lunar year, which is 11 days shorter than a solar year, so, for most of their history, Christians have calculated Easter independently of the Jewish calendar. In 325, the Council of Nicaea established that Easter would be held on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the northern hemisphere spring or vernal equinox. Since the early Middle Ages, the calculation for this has been named the computus (Latin for “computation”) as it was considered the most important computation of the age. It involves applying lunar months to the solar year, calculating “golden numbers” and cross-referencing tables. The simple way is to check a lectionary or the Church of England Common Worship book or Book of Common Prayer, which provides a table of calculated dates. EARLIEST AND LATEST The earliest and latest possible dates for Easter are 22 March and 25 April, in the Gregorian calendar. However, in the Orthodox, or Eastern, churches, while those dates are the same, they are reckoned using the Julian calendar: 4 April and 8 May. WHY NOT FIX THE DATE? There have been serious discussions about fixing or unifying the date of Easter involving the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches but no agreement has yet been reached.

  • The Carmelite Praying with Jesus of the Gospels
    The Carmelite praying with Jesus of the Gospels Foreword St Teresa of Jesus throughout her life shared a vibrant friendship with Jesus, albeit at a period in time it was low key. In hindsight, one could describe their friendship as a real companionship. It was not an ordinary one either. For her, it meant being one with him in his divine redemptive mission. This affirmation could be said of a great number of saintly Christians, men and women, down the ages. However, something which characterises her above the average saint is that she was a charismatic contemplative and a reforming founder of contemplatives. Teresa of Jesus grew up nurturing her friendship through the faithful exercise of meditative contemplation from the heart. This was a secret she treasured and extolled in her writings, and fully expressed in talking about it to her nuns and friends alike. She learned it in nascent form from an Augustinian sister friend while still in her teens: while in prayer she endeavoured always to imagine that she was personally present with her heart close to Jesus in whatever he happened to give his attention to in the Gospels. In my lifelong endeavour to promote spirituality in my pastoral ministry, Teresa’s way of prayer always intrigued and guided me. In recent years, with more time available for prayer and writing, the Lord is granting me a reserve of energy and inclination to channel everyday grace into worthwhile attempts to document historical facts, insights, discoveries and lines of thought into writing. Already a sixteen-year collaboration has produced the publication of the spirituality review ‘Teresa’.
