Lent

The evangelical tradition I grew up in was never one for all the seasons and saints, high days and holy days of the traditional churches. Up until recently I had only a vague understanding of Lent (it's still quite vague) but I do know lots of people give up things for Lent, and on the whole that's probably good for a person. As Lent started yesterday there are lots of Lent blogging going on, so if you want to get started but only a day late. Check these out.

• Faith Central has a lent guide with plenty of suggestions and links
• Jeremy posts about Tearfunds carbon fast lent challenge
• Phil Groom writes on some of this year's lent resources
• Christine Sine is blogging through lent and her posts should be pretty helpful
