“Are you traveling light on the earth?” <br>

[March 7, 2011] Noting that the season of Lent has traditionally been in <br>
“solidarity with those to be baptized,” Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop <br>
Katharine Jefferts Schori offers an invitation to deepen our Christian practices <br>
in her Lent 2011 message. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Presiding Bishop’s video Lenten message, taped at Chapel of Christ the Lord <br>
at the Episcopal Church Center in <br>
New York City, is available on the home page of the Episcopal Church website: <br>

<br>
While challenging us to “be attentive to how you live on this earth” with <br>
respect to our uses of resources, such as water and fuel, the Presiding Bishop <br>
asks if we are like Jesus Christ: “Are you traveling light on the earth?” <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In the liturgical calendar, Lent is the 40-day season leading up to Easter. <br>
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, this year March 9. Easter is celebrated on Sunday, <br>
April 24. <br>
