CCBlogs thinking critically, living faithfully

For ministers, Lent can be an interesting time of the year. We are called to lead our communities into a counter-cultural kind of experience. The modern world is not generally inclined to observe grief and penitence in such formalized ways. Churches are often seen as the place where you go to "find happiness" or "discover meaning in life."

And yet the Church continues to set aside this season for repentance and introspection. A number of bloggers in our network have posted things about Lent. Here is a selection of them:

Don't Eat Alone      The Connection      Pastor's Post

Faith at Ease      Holy Vignettes      I-YOUniverse

Where the Wind      As the Deer      The Other Jesus

Mark Powell      Getting There
