SECOND STATION
JESUS TAKES UP HIS CROSS
A TABLE SETTING WITH CAUTIONARY COVERING, AT EACH PLACE BONES ENSNARED IN TRAPS, CHAIRS AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS
The Rev. Thomas Faulkner, Artist

Any place / any time. A business luncheon - plans to be developed and careers to be furthered. Suddenly there is a racist put down, a homophobic joke, or an act of sexual harassment. You find yourself facing issues of illegality or unethical practices or even pure corruption. At what point and at what cost do you act? When do you risk your career or even your life for what you know to be Jesus’ teachings? When do you take up your cross?
