Easter in lockdown: a video reflection from Robert Jones

The Archdeacon of Worcester reflects on praising God at Easter while we're still locked out of our churches. When the first Easter happened, the disciples were in their own personal lockdown – behind closed doors, and in fear. For us in our national lockdown, Easter is still a time of praise. We still are able to praise God, especially for those key workers making a difference to other people's lives today. As one of the great early Christian writers said: "We are an Easter people, and 'Alleluia' is our song!"
