Faithful to walk Stations of the Cross
RESIDENTS are being invited to join Terang’s churches for a walk through town to mark Good Friday.
The walk, known as the Stations of the Cross, will see churchgoers from Terang’s four denominations coming together to commemorate the crucifixion and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Father George Kuruvila, who is organising the two stations of the cross walks in Terang and Camperdown, said he felt it was important to emphasise the ecumenical nature of the event.
“It was solely started by Catholics in the beginning and later it was shared by everyone,” he said.
“It reflects the ecumenical spirit we have here in the region, as well as in many parts of the world.
“It shows Catholics aren’t on one side, Presbyterians on another side, Anglicans on a third side and the Uniting Church on the fourth side – instead, everyone is in the same boat for these litigious celebrations.

“A few stations will be led by the Anglicans, some by the Catholics and others led by the Uniting Church.
“If any denomination joins us, we’ll be happy to offer them a station.”
The Stations of the Cross will begin at the Uniting Church at 2 Ewing Street at 10.30am, with the walk to conclude at the St Thomas Catholic Church at 2 Warrnambool Road.
Fr Kuruvila said he encouraged everyone to come along but understood the ageing population of churchgoers in the region.
“I feel the theme for this year should be for peace in the world, especially with the situation in the Middle East and the people suffering during this time,” he said.
