Quiet Rest

They have anointed his body with oil
And veiled his face like a bride.
They have laid him in Joseph’s tomb...
We Are an Easter People
March 20, 2021 | By Andrew Forrester
So why all the doom and gloom? If our Lord and Savior really is risen, and our sins have really been forgiven, why should we be sorrowful at all? During Lent, our preparation for the joy we take in the day of the resurrection, should we not be joyful since we know what’s coming?
Barren Bush or Fertile Tree?
March 5, 2021 | By Matias Sur
Our Lenten journey is well underway, which is why I want to offer a quick reflection on the possible temptations that may arise—or may have already risen—in the middle of our respective paths toward Easter Sunday.
At the risk of being reductive, if you had to pick between these two persons reflecting on their Lenten journey, which would you pick?
Rest in God
March 3, 2021 | By Jordan Hepburn ‘21
About one in three adults in the United States don’t get enough sleep. Being a college student about to enter the workforce, I know my lifestyle matches really well with this statistic. Most adults, including myself, are tired, working long hours, and needing more sleep.
Love in the Dust
Feb 25, 2021 | By Sam Laurent, Campus Minister for The Episcopal Center at Duke.
If you’re depressed, Lent doesn’t look particularly bleak. Popularly rendered as a season of austerity and asceticism, Lent evokes overtones of unworthiness and deprivation in wider culture. On behalf of depressives everywhere, I’d like to welcome everyone else to the party.
Playing at Lent
Feb 23, 2021 | By Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor Emeritus of Divinity and Law.
I have always thought that Lent is a dangerous time for Christians. This time in the church year I fear tempts us to play at being a Christian. We are to discipline our lives during Lent in order to discover and repent of those sins that prevent us from the wholehearted worship of God. That is a perfectly appropriate ambition, but we are not very good at it. We are not very good at it because in general we are not very impressive sinners.
