A SIMPLE AGAPE MEAL

Father Mark has written a simple Agape service which you might like to use in your own home. The Agape dates back to the early church and these communal meals are reflected in scripture, for example in 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 where St Paul explains how the meal should proceed.

During this time, when we are sadly not able to attend the Easter Triduum, you might like instead to engage with this, as away of praying together at home.
