Like Church leaders of all kinds, I spent significant lockdown time broadcasting from the garden. I'm very blessed, especially in London, to have a garden.
Maundy Thursday - what a long time ago that feels - our family was in lockdown with Covid in the house. For our online Maundy Communion (watch here) we needed a cross. As it happened, my wife had made her own from two old garden twigs because she had done her school's online Easter talk. We used that very stark-looking cross.
Out of the apparently dead wood was growing a flower. It is a fantastic picture of the hope that God offers during a dead year, and that he always offers through the cross to the soul who turns his way.
