Hundreds attend Good Friday enactment in town centre

The crowd bayed for blood, and they got it in Croydon town centre this morning.

The judge was swayed by the mob’s call for justice, despite there being no crime to justify such a severe punishment as execution nailed to a cross.

The re-enactment in front of an assembly of 300 Christians and assorted shoppers who happened to be passing by the Croydon alms houses on Good Friday morning was certainly a moving one.

The Bishop of Croydon, Bishop Jonathan Clark, giving his words for the first time at the Good Friday re-enactment, spoke of how God stood by us all in times of trial even if he did not provide ready-made solutions to suffering, to the extent of letting his son suffer on the cross.
