The Easter message is the same whether celebrated in the simplicity of an Ethiopian Orthodox tent (above), the magnificence of a Russian Orthodox cathedral, the shared experience of the Holy Fire ceremony in Jerusalem or in an Anglican church.
But there is a difference in sharing that message. It is summed up by Bishop Gavin Ashenden in 'The Joy of Easter – Heaven not hell, Life not death. – A homily on the Resurrection 2018'.
For many of us in the Anglican Communion the mystery, the 'otherness', is something lost. Mystery has given way to thepolitics of inclusivity, engaging in the politics of public life rather than spreading the message
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
Wishing all Orthodox readers a Happy and Blessed Easter.
