Maundy Thursday and Passover

Reflections by Ken Brooker Langston,
Director of the Disciples Justice Action Network,
Coordinator of the Disciples Center for Public Witness,
and Co-Convener of the Disciples Advocacy and Witness Network of the Christian Church Capital Area (DAWN).


Today is Maundy Thursday, the day on which Christians around the world commemorate the Last Supper of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is the meal that became the basis for that central symbolic and communal interaction that Christians call Eucharist, Holy Communion, and the Lord's Supper.

Also this week, our Jewish sisters and brothers have been celebrating Passover, a holy time that remembers and praises God for the liberation of Israel from bondage in Egypt, and anticipates the future liberation of all peoples from the bondage of slavery, oppression and injustice.
