Dear Friends
On this Holy Day we publish three articles to help bring our reflections to that most Holy of Days, the Resurrection.
Elaine Storkey writes Women at the Cross a biblical reflection on the events of Good Friday.
Graham Kings in his sermon at Salisbury Cathedral from the Chrism Eucharist
Andrew Goddard in the offering of a hymn Jesus Calls Us To His Table.
May you all know the Joy of the Risen Christ this Easter.
John Watson

On Luke 7:30 Graham writes: "That tragically, is the ultimate judgment which people can make: to reject God’s purpose for themselves." Other translations talk of plan or council. Graham is speaking of the judgments men make. But what of the judgment of God. C S Lewis speaks of God as ultimately saying "Thy will be done" as to do otherwise would be to deny his gift of free will. The basis of God's judgment is often portrayed as not (quite?) reaching perfection or accepting some doctrinal formulation. The way evangelicals sometimes speak of judgment can make God seem unjust. This is one of the points Rob Bell makes in "Love Wins" Is it justifiable to explain and limit God's judgment in this way?

Thanks for the hymn Andrew. Too late to use this Easter, but next year perhaps... any copyright issues?

Daniel's exegetical outline below makes more sense of Ephesians 5:21-23 than anything else I've seen posted here. The proposed rings make obvious intuitive sense, though I am still pondering the question what algorithm, if any, could (dis)confirm these intuitions. The rings lead one to see intimacy ...
Daniel-- I was hoping for new light on kephale, but did not expect it so soon! Your "B" ring lends support to the view of Secret Villager 4976 below who sees St Paul emphasising the unity of head and body in Ephesians 5. And as I myself note below, the coinherence of the members of the pairs {God : ...
I understand what you are saying Dave. On the issue of Bishops having day jobs, and the time constraints on attending debates, I wonder with my admitted lack of experience whether there is not a way in which a better rotation system can be worked. But also a lot of valuable people who are fully trai...
