What on earth is the Lectionary trying to do lead us into as we go through Holy Week? Tripp Hudgins, an ethnomusicology Ph.D. candidate at the Graduate Theological Union breaks it down for us. He leads us into an understanding of this week as the center of the church’s life, and invites us to see the Lections as an invitation to create a space for experiencing the gravity of the death of God. We catch a vision for a week-long, unbreaking service that does not resolve until Easter.

You won’t want to miss Tripp’s insights, or the sometimes-vocal contributions of his baby, in this first ever LectioCast holiday special.
