The church has always championed the resurrection as the key moment in the story of salvation - as it surely is.
Too often this has found expression in a kind of misguided attempt to exert a form of authority over people who were not sure they wanted to come under that authority.
But the resurrection is the pivot point of the meaning of everything. It is the point that turns conventional structures on their head and subverts our most effective survival strategies and motives.
The resurrection effectively says the point you all thought was the end... that's not the end!
