Lent Talks – Holy Week

Written and presented by Dean of Westminster The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle

Westminster Abbey exists to tell the long story, the awkward angular story of British history with all the twists and turns and the ‘heroes’ and the sometimes less than great and good individuals who are remembered here.  It is my job to keep that story alive, to believe it and explain why I think we can all still gather in one place and find some common ground.  So, I look to Christ’s ministry and to his Passion as part of the long story of God’s grace.  Christ’s life and death are the best words we have, the right language to express what it is to be God and what it is to be human.  Understood and inhabited his story can help us believe there is a proper ending to our story and some hope to be had.
