LENT 2024: TRUE FASTING from ACNA’s Matthew 25 Initiative

At the Matthew 25 Initiative, our desire is to see the unseen and the marginalized treasured.

And this Lenten season, we will be telling the stories of the least of these through 40 days of Anglican-informed, inspiring, beautiful, and theologically robust engagement pieces — in the vein of the church's traditional disciplines of Lent:  prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

For our third year of Lent, we once again invite you to join us on a journey of normalizing Anglican justice and mercy by thoughtfully engaging in this historic Christian season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving – this time, through the lens of Isaiah 58:6-12.

Check it out here.  It is a free devotional you can sign up to have delivered directly to your email each day.

Word in the Wilderness: A poem a day for Lent and Easter 

For every day from Shrove Tuesday to Easter Day, poet Malcolm Guite chooses a favorite poem from across the Christian spiritual and English literary traditions and offers incisive reflections on it. An Anglican priest, scholar of poetry, and a renowned poet himself, his knowledge is deep and wide and he offers readers a soul-food feast for Lent.
