This is the third event of a series of three evenings about Lent and Easter. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, will talk about Lent on 19 February, and Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford will talk about Holy Week on 19 March.
Too often we think of Easter as just one day, but in reality it’s the fifty day season during which we explore the disciples’ experiences of the risen Christ and the meaning of the Resurrection. From Mary Magdalene meeting Christ at the tomb on Easter Sunday to his great commission to the apostles to make disciples of all nations, they meet, eat with, touch and talk with the risen Christ, seeing his wounds and hearing his voice. Lent and Holy Week are seasons when we remember the past, but the time we live in now is the time of the Resurrection. Stephen Conway asks in this talk, how we can enter into this supremely mysterious story and hear its call to us to rise with Christ and live new lives?
Stephen Conway is Bishop of Ely and was formerly Bishop of Ramsey. He is the Anglican bishop accompanying the L’Arche Community in the UK, Patron of the Arthur Rank Hospice and editor and contributor to books including Living the Eucharist and This Is Our Calling.
