Speakers and themes include:
Dr Stephen Cherry, Dean of Kings College Cambridge, introduces his book, the inspiration for our Lent series.
Author and Priest the Rev'd Jarel Robinson-Brown explores the extent to which we are enslaved by our past? Can Black people ever forgive those who enslaved their ancestors? Can reparations ever be effective?
The Rev'd Richard Sewell, Dean of St George’s Cathedral Jerusalem, asks if the Holy Land can ever heal after the catastrophic events in Israel, Gaza, and Lebanon? Is forgiveness possible after the atrocities of war?
Amanda Hughes is a relationship therapist, she explores the possibility and likelihood of reconciliation after a breakdown in intimate relationships. Broken promises, betrayal, neglect. When a relationship shatters it is catastrophic. Can it be repaired?
Dr Ed Kessler of The Woolf institute reflects on the Passion Narratives, as recounted in the Gospels and later Christian writings, the performance of Passion Plays, including Oberammergau, and their significance for Jewish-Christian Relations. The Passion Narratives have, historically, been used by Christians to blame Jews for the death of Jesus and contributed to antisemitism over the centuries. In this context, how should Jews and Christians be reconciled today?
An opportunity to discuss the week’s online speaker (see online course here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/online-lent-course-unforgivable-registration-1142651725069) and their story and relate it to our Lent book “Unforgivable”.

Night prayer services especially for Holy Week. Continuing our exploration of what might or might not be unforgivable, we will host talks at Compline that focus on three characters from the Passion narratives; Pilate, Caiaphas, and Judas. Are their actions unforgivable or were they all just compromised victims of circumstance?
Clergy brothers and sisters gather to renew vows of ministry as we stand on the threshold of the three holy days which retell the story of our salvation.
We remember the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, where He established the sacrament of Holy Communion and the priesthood, and celebrated His final Passover feast. This marks the beginning of the Easter Triduum.
The Good Friday Walk of Witness is organised by Churches Together. It starts at the Cathedral with a short service at 10.30 and continues with a silent walk through the streets.
