Lenten Consumption

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #456: Lenten exercise to look beyond the abstinence models and engage the spiritual. Ashes to ashes is just as valid as dust to dust: So too with cremation. Thoughts on the Cremation/Burial debate. Why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something? asks the poet and we take the challenge. It’s a Lenten Delight. The Moon/Earth Paradox and Metaphor for defining evil explained. Beyond the dates and the numbers – a look at the message underlying our faith. Prelude to the Reclaim Conference, coming up.
