Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Kan­ga­loo has called on the na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty to re­flect on the cen­tral themes of East­er — hope, re­new­al, and trans­for­ma­tion.

In a Good Fri­day mes­sage, Kan­ga­loo ac­knowl­edged the deep emo­tion­al jour­ney that Chris­tians un­der­take dur­ing this sea­son, be­gin­ning with the sor­row of Good Fri­day and cul­mi­nat­ing in the joy of East­er Sun­day.

“On the hu­man lev­el, Christ’s death must have brought un­speak­able de­spair and paralysing con­fu­sion to His fol­low­ers at that time,” she said.
