For those of you who read my article on a regular basis, I hope you have recovered from the huge gaffe that appeared in last month's issue. Yes, Mothering Sunday was on 14th March, not 21st. Sorry about that. I hope not too many people were put off and, of course, if provided some of you men with a golden excuse for forgetting the 14th.

Easter is the most important event in the Christian calendar and this year, like many years before, somewhere between two to three billion people, that is to say one third of the world's total population of six billion, will be celebrating this day.

In addition to that, Easter is an important time for other faith groups as well. Not because they disagree with it or are offended by it, but in many ways they are linked to it. Islam for example, acknowledges Jesus Christ as a prophet and that he lived. Many people in Islam do put their faith in Christ every year. Judaism acknowledges that Jesus existed and lived when the gospels said He did. He is also referenced in Hinduism and many of the other faiths.

Christ Church would like to wish all our website visitors a very Merry Christmas!
