I was going to let the artists' images of the crucifixion be my only Good Friday blog entry but there was an article in the Globe and Mail this morning about a Roman Catholic church in the Gulf country of Qatar. Although it is an impressive building seating 1500 it has no visible Christian symbols on its exterior and it was built out in the desert.
This is another reminder of the costliness of Christian faith for many in the world. Saudi Arabia is the only Gulf state that still bans churches but it is an uneasy relationship in many places.
We don't have to worry much about what it means to take up our crosses to follow Jesus.
