“WHAT’S LENT GOT TO DO WITH UUs?” - Rev. Lyn Burton
Posted March 8th, 2010 by tammyg_1998@yah...Sunday, March 14, 2010
“WHAT’S LENT GOT TO DO WITH UUs?”
Rev. Lyn Burton
Lent: a cultural blend of Pagan customs honoring the time when the barren Earth rests before the fertile spring again arrives. Lent: a legacy of Christian practices honoring Jesus’ life and death. What might we learn from the spiritual practice of fasting that may deepen our relationship to that which ultimately is life-giving and sustains us?
