The Bishop of Lichfield, Right Reverend Dr Michael Ipgrave, spoke about the upcoming coronation of King Charles III and offered a prayer for the new monarch, asking him to see God's Kingdom set free on Earth: "We do not as yet know the exact wording of the Coronation service, but we can be sure that, as has been the case through the centuries of our history, it will make clear that the King’s authority, great as it is, is subject to the higher authority of God the ruler of all.
"However, Easter shows us that the final triumph lies with one who followed a very different way – the way of the cross, the way of service, humility and love. The Bishop of Worcester, Right Reverend Dr John Inge, said that a pilgrimage to the Holy Land had made him think about how Jesus would view the state of Jerusalem today, while also asking people t spread Christian hope in the face of terror and war:"While there we visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which was built in the year 327 on the spot where Jesus was crucified and where he rose from the dead. It’s a deeply evocative place.
"Easter is a time for renewal and hope, a time to reflect on the sacrifice that Christ made for us and the love that He has for each and every one of us."May it be a time of healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation, and a time to renew our commitment to serve others and to spread the love of Christ throughout our communities.
"Easter is meant to knock us of our feet; take our breath away. Easter is not worthy sentiments; it is the power of God to transform our hearts and lives."Let’s be troubled, thrilled, delighted, shocked, overwhelmed and challenged by the message of Easter, generated not in cyberspace but by the heart-stopping love of God revealed in the One who died and rose again for our sake.
"The desperation that leads you into the clutches of people traffickers, or being passed from hostile country to hostile country because no one wants another digit on their immigration statistics, regardless of whether you are a skilled worker who could ultimately be a great blessing to their ageing workface …..
"How impoverished our humanity will be, through not having the chance to show simple human kindness to those in situations far more desperate than we will ever be.
