Great idea. I agree with "Drew" that preaching must accompany the elements. In Kilmarnock, 9 clerics, organised by David Cameron, put on a 3 hour Good Friday Vigil from 12noon - 3pm, in 20 minute sections, in the Laigh West High Kirk("Come when you can and go when you must") David will be putting a table with bread and wine on it at the church gate with an invitation to enter and take part in the Vigil. Thanks for your great visual advert idea!! Hi Albert. Great idea. I agree with “Drew” that preaching must accompany the elements.

We take a 10 ft cross onto the High St and we've had some very good comments. But really - blow up balloons - give away Easter Eggs or Cola - just get on the High St and take God's love to the people - that's what its all about - isn't it???? Great idea Albert.

Last year I had to carry a lifesized cross along to our local high school for the united Good Friday Afternoon service. I was impressed by all the different reactions I got, which covered the whole gamit of feelings from scorn to humour to concern. Eventually a local Korean boy asked if he could help. This year I have to do the same - I might ask someone to film it! John Hi Albert

I've been drawing blanks wondering what do open air at Easter and you've saved my bacon. I'll be offering bread and wine at my parish shops. Bread, wine and a chance to chat excellent way to get rid of the walls. Count me in. Somebody pointed me to this blog and my response was “That’s it!”.

We'll have a table set up like yours from last year with bread and wine, but offer grape juice and a hot cross bun + an invitation to come in and walk our interactive labyrinth that will be on all day. Some of our staff were a wee bit nervous of offering what might be seen to be a eucharist, but the we are high-church Anglicans, aren't we? ;) St Silas’ are going for a variant on the idea.

It was more a reminder to those who pass by that Christ's body was broken for them. This is the discussion that I wanted to open up. We thought of handing out little cards with verses of scripture upon them perhaps with a web page address where people could continue the discussion or indeed share how they felt.

One question though. The Reformers' understanding was that preaching should accompany the sacrament. In 1st Corinthians 11 Paul speaks of the need for self examination before eating (which may imply a need to understand the sacrament). How, my brother, does this sit with what you suggest? My very best wishes to all who seek to take to the streets in the Lord's name. Hi Albert, it’s great that you always seem to think of innovative things to do. One question though.
