Easter Liturgy
For the first time in a few years, we divested from our inherited practice of watching Shawshank on Easter. We watched “Once” instead. If you haven’t yet seen it, I can only tell you that is has displaced almost every other movie I love.

From Wright’s new book “Surprised by Hope”
pg. 229
“Second, to see evangelism in terms of the announcement of God’s Kingdom, of Jesus’ lordship and of the consequent new creation, avoids from the start any suggestion that the main or central thing that has happened is that the new Christian entered into a private relationship with God or with Jesus and that this relationship is the main or only thing that matters. (Some currently popular Christian songs seem to suggest this rather too frequently, as though the main thing about the gospel were that Jesus could take the place of my girlfriend or boyfriend.)”
