Adelphoi,
On Maundy Thursday Rowan Williams revived the medieval practice in his Cathedral at Canterbury of washing the feet of twelve of the parishioners, to fulfill our Lord's command.
Today, Good Friday, The Times newspaper of London has pictures and an account on the front page and other national daily papers also cover it.
There is apparently a real place in our secular age for dynamic symbols of the Christian Faith as part of the Apology for this Faith.
May I add that those who want to hear sound sermons on the meaning of Good Friday could visit my church website where they can hear today and tomorrow two of the official sermons of the C of E (from the Book of Homilies) for Good Friday; then from midnight Saturday and all day Sunday and in Easter week they will be able to hear the Homily on Easter & the Resurrection. These are all solid biblically based sermons which for me was a joy to read and record.
