The Cross on Victoria Street – Good Friday Walk of Witness

It was a pleasure to represent Churches Together in Westminster today for The Cross on Victoria Street – Good Friday Walk of Witness. The walk went from Methodist Central Hall Westminster to Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, with the Cross carried by people from The Passage and accompanied by the CEO, Mick Clarke

Reflections were given by The Venerable David Stanton, The Rt Rev John Wilson, Rev Preb Rose Hudson-Wilkin. The Rt Rev John Wilson shared two images. The first being the shimmering cross in the devastation of Notre-Dame; an image of God's love seen in the suffering of the Cross. The second being the sun glinting on an unopened tin of sardines given to torment Magda Elefant in Auschwitz which led to her rescue by the Allies; the instrument of torment become the means of salvation. Rev Preb Rose Hudson-Wilkin said, 'Today must not be a 'Holy Huddle. If the cross is going to make any sense then we must witness to what the cross is about.'

This Walk of Witness is held in association with The Passage, Churches Together in Westminster, and the Ecumenical Society of The Blessed Virgin Mary.
