A note from Seán Walsh about his latest publication…

Seán Walsh writes: Just now published on 

ebook or paperback… Did I say book? More like a booklet… Two readers/actors, two mics. Can be performed on any platform – church, sanctuary, hall… in the round… 25 minutes, give or take… Plenty of time for discussion afterward…audience participation… In a series of scenes, Pilate and his trusted C O,  confer. Asides. How to subdue and dispel these troublesome Jews? Good Friday from a Roman perspective…

With a Forward by Fr Martin Hogan…

Strikes me that if this were brought to the attention of ACP members – indeed, priests everywhere – some of them might be spurred to run with it…A rehearsed reading… two scripts, two stands.

Chris McDonnell in the Catholic Times writes about Eating together, becoming one, a recently published book by Professor Tom O’Loughlin. Tom currently holds the chair of Historical Theology in the University of Nottingham and has recently retired as president of the Catholic Theological Association. In this book he addresses the complex issue of intercommunion amongst Christian churches.
“It is ironic that the very centre of nourishment within the Christian family has become the point of division between us, a matter of confusion rather than an occasion of joy and close companionship.”
“Yet too often we look for differences, we set up restrictive practices and discord takes the place of harmony. The advice from the priest over who may receive at weddings and funerals is but one telling example.”

    This is a powerful little play that approaches the Passion story from a very original and thought-provoking perspective. It would be an ideal stimulus for reflection on Jesus’ final journey if it were performed sometime during Holy Week.
    We are putting on this play here in the parish church of Saint Canice in Finglas Village on Wednesday of Holy Week, 27th March, at 7.30 pm. All are welcome.

      Thank you, Martin. But for your encouragement, the dramas I have written over the years against the backdrop of the first Good Friday might never have come to pass:
      At the Praetorium, Three for Calvary, Pilate Under Pressure 1, Conclave: Inside the Sanhedrin and (your favourite, I reckon) Veil… (All available on Amazon.com /Amazon.co.uk eBooks and paperbacks.)
