Lent: Contending for Shalom
At the Matthew 25 Initiative, our desire is to see the unseen and the marginalized treasured.
And this Lent 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.
Sign up here to receive these daily reflections in your inbox.
