Linking new traditions



Stations of the Cross. Good Friday. What does it mean today?

I love a good tradition. I also love when a tradition causes me to learn about news ways to act on my faith. The 8th Day Center for Justice’s annual Good Friday Walk for Justice calls my attention each year to the suffering that folks are enduring in our world. Using the model of the stations of the cross, linking this walk to that Jesus took in Jerusalem and current injustice in the world helps me understand both better. Becky and I joined about 400 others in downtown Chicago for this walk.

May we all learn ways to celebrate and also fight injustice in this Eastertide.
