Our friend Donna Adair of St. Paul's UMC in Houston has let us know that St. Paul has added the Stations of the Cross to its Web site:
Visual meditations on the “Stations of the Cross” were dedicated to the worship and music ministries of St. Paul’s UMC in the Spring of 2006 by their creator, Thomas Hardin. Now an architect in London, he was at the time a Rice University student and a member of St. Paul’s Choir. This gift was combined this year with devotional text written and compiled by Rev. Shelli Williams as she conducted the Lenten study, “The Way of the Cross: A Journey through the Stations of the Cross.” These works were an integral part of the church’s Holy Week Labyrinth Walk.
I've taken a quick tour of it this morning to see whether I wanted to link to it (obviously, "yes!"), but plan to spend more time with it later in the week. Some of our readers might want to use it for meditation as we make our way to Good Friday.
Incidentally, for years now, I've thought of Good Friday as having an advertising-style tagline... "Good Friday: Can't Have Easter Without It!" I guess lots of people do essentially skip Good Friday, if they're more bunny-centric Easter types. But to me, it's an essential part of the wonder that comes with being a Christian: it came down to this. It really did.
It's a sense of wonder I pray I never lose.
