Celebrating Easter at an Easter Day sunrise service held with Heaton Churches Together in north Bradford, Bishop Toby Howarth, the Bishop of Bradford , has recorded a video diary of the past week, Holy Week, across the Episcopal Area.
His week included a Good Friday walk of witness through the streets of east Bradford with the Bradford Moor cluster of churches – during which we see him speaking to shopkeepers and local Muslim tradespeople to tell them about the purpose of the procession of the Cross.
On Maundy Thursday he attended a packed meeting of Muslims, and was invited to speak. The week also included confirmations and baptisms both on Palm Sunday and on Holy Saturday – a candlelit service held at Bradford Cathedral – and a meeting and events to remember the thirtieth anniversary of the Bradford City football ground fire tragedy.
