The ashes of an illusion of peace mark us this Lent. The stain of war in Ukraine marks us, as do the consequences of conflict seen in many places around the world, including in the Holy Land.
This Lent, in our online Sacred Space, we explore a new Lenten book River through the Desert by Richard Sewell.(Published by St George’s College , Jerusalem)
This Sunday, Lent 1, we enter the Judean desert, seeking the presence of God.
In her foreword the Rev Dr Susan Lukens says:
‘Sewell reveals that the apparently arid landscape of our own lives can yield surprising nourishment when we take time for prayer, Scripture and meditation.’
Sacred Space takes place on Zoom at 6pm Jerusalem time (4pm UK time). If you’d like to join us please email mpearson@churchofscotland.org.uk and I’ll send the Zoom codes.
