Sharkie Mar 2021 10:18pm, 14 Mar 2021 17,624 posts	0 Sharkie Well, as you can see, I don't know much about Lent! Was vaguely brought up in weird Swedenborgian New Church until 7 or 8 (not a cult thing) then bog standard C of E Sunday school for year or two and Church Parades once a month with Brownies and Guides 'til I left at 13. Non believer since then.

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
