The Way of the Cross

Chipping Hill Witham Chelmsford, CM8 2JS, United Kingdom

How do we retell the story of Jesus betrayal and death? In this service we do it through different people's responses to the unfolding story. It builds up a tapestry of faith and belief richer than any one person's viewpoint.

There are fourteen different images round the wall of the church. They tell the story of Jesus betrayal and death taken from the Gospels. At each of these 'stations' there are reflections, followed by a prayer, silence and a response. The service is also framed by four hymns. And a longer piece of music after the last station ['Bone Jesu' by a sixteenth century Scottish composer, Robert Carver, recorded by The Sixteen.]
