Dear Members and Friends of Immanuel:
We come now to the heart and center of the Christian year, as we engage the mystery, pathos, and ultimate joy of Holy Week and Easter. Unlike some of our sister Christian traditions, we usually don’t have revivals in the Anglican tradition. Holy Week is about as close as we come and, when approached with heart, mind, and soul, its observance can function in much the same way as a revival. To be “revived” means, literally, to be re-vivified, or “re-lifed”, to remember what is essential and life-giving. Holy Week and Easter teach these essentials of our faith through Scripture and preaching, through ancient hymnody and choral music, through light and darkness, through Sacrament, through outdoor and indoor processions, and through our fellowship together. The whole goal is to step out of our fast-paced lives so that we might re-trace Our Lord’s last days on this Earth, and to contemplate anew the “innumerable blessings procured unto us by the same,” to quote from the Rite 1 Eucharist. If we are paying attention, we will also be asking how we are living and tending these innumerable blessings and, indeed, how we are passing them on and sharing them with others.
