In a couple of hours we will begin our Maundy Thursday Services. We will include Feet Washing, a symbolic meal with foods from the traditional Passover Meal, a lot of conversation around the dinner tables, communion, and end with prayer. It never ceases to amaze me how this evening of remembering Jesus' last meal with his disciples effects people. When you have your feet washed or break bread together and have the chance to do so in the quiet reflection that comes with a night like this it just seems to get into your soul.
I wonder why there are churches who refuser to consider that possibilities of incorporating a feet washing experience into their Holy Week services? When Jesus says, "Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet." Why can people ignore it so easily when they make other thinks so cut and dried and leave no room for debate?
Just wondering. Maybe you would like to share your experience of Maundy Thursday, please feel free to add your comments.
