Easter Open Pulpit: Friday 10 to Monday 13 April 2009

Easter is a festival of hope.  Over Easter weekend the pulpit in the Park’s church will be open for anyone – whether from religious, spiritual, theosophical, philosophical, educational, health, social, scientific, business, environmental or other perspectives, to bring their important message to Park visitors.  Messages can be delivered via poetry, song, reading, musical instrument, preaching or any other style.

Today, two millennia after the origins of Easter, there are ever-more-insistent calls for a shift in human thinking and behaviour to create a new world from what many consider to be a world in crisis.  From Al Gore to Eckhart Tolle and others, there are pleas for an end to genocide and ecocide, for the death of ego-based consciousness and the birth, or re-birth, of an awareness that we are all in this together.  They believe that what we do to each other and our environment, we do to ourselves.

These calls align with the core teachings of all religions and faiths.  Why then, do we find it so hard in practice?

The Easter Open Pulpit will be part of the Park’s Easter event celebrating traditional aspects of Easter and running from Friday10 April to Monday 13 April. 

Presentaton slots can be booked, on the hour and half-hour, from 10am to 4pm over the four days.
