Making the Most of Lent
A week ago today, the Christian Church entered into the Season of Lent. We, at 1.21 Church are using this season specifically to cultivate a greater sense of dependence upon and satisfaction in God, and a greater sense of the utter worthiness of his Son, Jesus Christ. Having been raised Roman Catholic, I’m generally familiar with the liturgical rhythms of the Christian year. However, most folks at our church do not share this background. With that in mind, I wanted to share this brief video that I came across to help explain the Season’s history, its practices, and its purposes.
The man speaking is Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury (currently one of the hardest jobs in the world). I don’t always agree with him, but I greatly respect him, and there is much that the Church can gain from listening closely to him.
