For five Wednesdays in Lent, engage with the liturgies and theology of our holiest week, the dramatic and transformative journey from Palm Sunday to the cross—and Easter resurrection. Through film clips and conversation, examine what we do in these liturgies and what we mean by them. Each evening begins with a simple supper at 6:30pm (program at 7:00m) and concludes with a brief ritual reflecting the evening’s theme.

Good Friday: “Were You There?”

The central act of Christian imagination is to look upon the Crucified One and see the salvation of the world. No explanatory formula can exhaust the mystery of “God’s Friday,” but the awesome liturgy for this day knows exactly how to be present to it. No other rite has such eloquent prayers, such wrenching Scripture, such sublime hymns, such profound silences. Our common study of Good Friday’s vast dimensions will take us deeper into God’s wondrous love.
