Lent Course - People of the Passion

Every Thursday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
Tewkesbury Abbey
Tewkesbury Abbey Church Street Tewkesbury Gloucester, GL20 5RZ, United Kingdom

In "People of the Passion" five characters from the sotry of the passion of Christ are gathered together and given space to tell their stories through the eyes of the Gospel writers and through our interactions with the biblical text. Each week we will explore one of the people who plays are part in the events that move Jesus closer and closer to his death on the cross. They did not cause Jesus to die but they do give us insight into the use and abuse of power by the people who were drawn into the story of the passion.

Tewkesbury Abbey

With a history stretching over 900 years, Tewkesbury Abbey is one of the largest parish churches in the country. The present building was consecrated in 1121 and continues to be a parish church for Tewkesbury after it was purchased from Henry VIII's commissioners in 1540 for the  sum of £453. The Abbey has seen many changes over those 900 years and continues to evolve as a living parish church for Tewkesbury. We welcome everyone regardless of faith or no faith and hope that, whether you visit for a service or to see our architecture and history, your visit will bring refreshment to body, mind and spirit.
