Easter Greetings 2021 from Emmanuel Road and links to this week’s address/podcast and Wednesday Evening Conversation on Zoom
Greetings.
As in previous weeks, I trust all remains as well as can be expected with you all.
Please remember that if you would like to speak with me during the week simply reply to this email and we can arrange a suitable time to talk properly either by telephone, Zoom or on a socially-distanced one-to-one walk.
Please note there is now a new number for the church office. You can find that below my signature.
As usual, here are links to this week’s address/podcast. Naturally, it has an Easter-related theme even though it offers its positive, fully life-affirming message by rejecting the Christian Resurrection and by showing how closely the Kyoto School of Buddhist thinking is linked to a certain kind of Christian atheist perspective.
It’s called:
Cancelling my subscription to the Resurrection and truly living the death of God

Please note that we’ll be taking a break from the weekly conversation until the beginning of May and I may, or may not, be writing and sharing an address/podcast with you during that time.
And, lastly, as always, if on reading this you decide you would like to join us on Sunday morning for the service of mindful meditation and time of conversation following and do not have the necessary Zoom link then please contact our Church Secretary, Brendan Boyle, via the contact page of our website. Just look through the dropdown tabs to find “Secretary”:

Please log in between 9.45 and 10am. The meditation starts at 10am sharp, and finishes about 10.50. There will then be a short break to allow you to stretch your legs, compose your thoughts, or put the kettle on. The ‘Time for Conversation’ will start about 11am, and if you aren’t taking part in the meditation, feel free to sign in during the break for the conversation.
To get the most from the meditation, you will find it helpful to either print out the order of service, or display it in a second window. Here is the link:

You might also wish to have a small candle or tea-light to hand to light at a certain point during the meditation and, for the time of conversation following, a seasonal Hot Cross Bun to munch with your tea or coffee!
A representative recorded version of the service is available for download via my podcast site here:
