Walking Through the Stations of the Cross: Laura James & David Taylor

A conversation about our virtual Stations of the Cross, featuring artist Laura James (who provided the paintings), and Rev. Dr. W. David O. Taylor, who wrote the liturgy.

The “Stations of the Cross” grew out of an ancient liturgy and describe 14 stops along the way to Golgotha. These stops follow Jesus from the moment he is condemned to death until his entombment. Traditionally, the faithful prayed the liturgy alongside visual depictions of the Stations, where the person praying could literally stop and contemplate each event of Christ’s Passion. This year, as we continue to navigate the pandemic, we invite you into a time of contemplation by experiencing a virtual version of the Stations.
