April 7th at 8 pm: Compline holds up Thomas's all be people of light
There is light within a person of light, and it lights up the whole universe. If it does not shine, there is darkness. (Gospel of Thomas)
As spring lengthens our days suggesting the hope of the risen Christ, so the candlelight of compline pushes back the darkness. This month’s service begins with a 15th century chant setting of the story of Doubting Thomas. The meditations of the evening will be drawn from the gnostic text of the Gospel of Thomas presenting Thomas’ incarnational idea of the Kingdom of God. The choral offering will be “We walk by faith”.
