Anglicans urged to carbon-fast for Lent
[Anglican Communion News Service] The Anglican Communions Environmental Network (ACEN) is encouraging Christians around the world to take part in a carbon-fast this Lent.
The network is calling on Anglicans to take a deeper challenge than fasting from coffee, alcohol or chocolates this Lent, by reducing the use of carbon based fuels on which we all depend.
We will take small steps for a more sustainable world, and by doing so rediscover a different relationship with God, with Creation and with one another, the group says on its website, adding: I can change the world a little in 40 days, but I can change myself a lot!
For each week during Lent, which runs from Ash Wednesday on March 5 to the Saturday before Holy Week on April 12, the network has developed themed materials to focus on a time of reflection and action.
