Easter Message from the Bishop of Wisconsin, The Rt. Rev. Matthew Gunter
The news of our world, near and far, is thick with anxiety, anger, and despair. It feels stifling.
In Jesus Christ, God has entered into the stifling atmosphere of human reality, the reality of sin, suffering, and death. He entered that reality to the uttermost – abandoned, tortured, and brutally executed. The God we know in and through Jesus has placed himself in solidarity in the concrete reality of human history with all its terror and tragedy. God is not aloof. God has taken on sin, suffering, and death in the incarnation and taken them all the way to the cross. All the way to the grave.
God bears the wounds. God bears the wounds of all of history. This God bears the wounds you and I have suffered as well as those we have inflicted. William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury during WWII, wrote, “The wounds of Christ are his credentials to the suffering race of [humanity] . . . Only a God in whose perfect Being pain has its place can win and hold our worship.”

Our next read is “The Queen of Crime”, by Marie Benedict. We will meet at 12:30 central time, on Tuesday, April 7 in the Canterbury Room and via zoom.
London, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers, the group includes Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They call themselves the Queens of Crime. Their plan? Solve an actual murder, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment.
Inspired by a true story in Sayers’ own life, New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict brings to life the lengths to which five talented women writers will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters as they unpuzzle a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels.
