many Christains still think the Mass is blasphemy? divisions in doctrine are still very much with us. The accusers of brethren are everywhere on both sides.

I went on Easter Sunday, church was packed...... wonderful to see families celebrating the Ressurection and renewal of faith and Baptism....Water and Spirit.
They even had some guitar music.........and traditional hymns .
The whole of Holy Week has been lost to many of us over time ,really downplayed by JWS, Yet this is a powerful witness to the world..... never mind about Constantine and sun worship. Abraham was once a sun worshipper. They walked around the church holding up the cross and the Bible showing love for Jesus...
In the afternoon I was invited to a picnic with some of my family. Lovely to see so many people out,and an easter egg hunt. everyone enjoying themselves. There were quite a lot of Moslems and one elderly lady commented on 'different people in the park these days'.............. she looked sad............some of the Moslems had prayer mats, and were boldy using them for all to see......
It struck me that if all Christians proudly displayed their faith and the cross showing the world what we believe .... what a witness that would be.
Christians in some countries are not even allowed to carry a Bible never mind walk around displaying a Cross.
and why some churches don't display it is beyond me.....but the the JWS never did either .
