Ash Wednesday- A Gathering of Notorious Sinners
“[Lent] was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church.”-BCP
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think of myself as a “notorious” sinner. If anything, I pride myself on keeping my sins cloaked in a discreet cloud of humility, penetrable only by those close enough to me that they see through my politeness. Yet every year I look forward to Ash Wednesday, the day that I can literally wear the awareness of my sinfulness on my forehead.

My Questions about Life
When I came to Church of the Resurrection 6 years ago, I asked myself, “Where are Christians on sanctity-of-life issues?” There seemed to be a great silence. So many vital and needed ministries were at work in the church-- I saw God working in so many ways -in and through people. But eventually I became aware that Christians were often confused, even divided, over the issues surrounding abortion. Some were worn out with it all and frustrated—understandably so. What could they do—how could they make a difference in something so huge and seemingly beyond their control?
