Holy Week - The Worlds of the Cross (14 April - 21 April) During Holy Week we are invited to share in Christ's own journey, from the triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the desolation of Good Friday and Holy Saturday and finally the joyful celebrations of Easter Sunday.

This year's Holy Week preacher is the Very Reverend Michael Sadgrove, the former Dean of Durham.  In his daily preachings at Choral Evensong, The Preaching of the Passion on Good Friday and the Dawn Vigil and Easter Liturgy, Michael will explore with us how we reflect on and pray Christ's passion in the different "worlds" of the story, the worlds that "survey" the Cross from their respective vantage points. From the perspective of the "worlds" in which we exist we confront and bear witness to the crucifixion.

Michael Sadgrove served as a parish priest and theological educator before spending most of his working life in Cathedrals.  He has written on the Bible, ordained ministry, spirituality and church heritage.  He is married, has four adult children and lives in Northumberland.
