There is something very special about London at Eastertime. As the days get longer, sunlight warmer, and the trees start to blossom, everywhere we look is suddenly a technicolour reminder of the promise of renewal and rejuvenation. For Christians, this is a wonderful backdrop to our celebration of Jesus’s resurrection and the promise of new life which that holds for our world.
At its core, the Easter story is one of hope; the hope of God at work in the darkness, bringing a new creation to all. This desire to see a world born anew, where justice and peace prevail, could not be more relevant today. We are living in a period of great global instability, from the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza and the war in Ukraine, to the cost-of-living crisis closer to home.
