The Good Friday Meditation with Rev Dr Stephen Wigley

A soulful reflection for Good Friday with Rev Dr Stephen Wigley, Chair of the Wales Synod of the Methodist Church

For centuries, Christians have drawn strength from the last words of Jesus on the cross. In this meditation for Good Friday, Rev Dr Stephen Wigley reflects on the way these words can offer hope in the face of suffering and grief, particulaly in this Covid year. Each "last word" is echoed with poetry and soulful music drawn from spirtuals, blues, classical, and jazz.
