Easter in Disguise

<p>Lent is Easter in disguise, a radical, subversive season of resistance. A blend of contemporary spirituality, scriptural reflection and tales from one of the UK’s youngest nuns make this a vibrant take on an ancient season.<br><br>Sister Liz Dodd, an activist and journalist, draws on feminist and Liberation theologies, as well as her work with refugees and her adventures cycling around the world, to outline a new spirituality for social justice. This Lent she challenges Christians to do more than give up chocolate: Lent is God’s invitation to shake up your life, rattle your parish, and change the world.<br><br>Learn from Jesus the spiritualities that he passed onto his disciples, including solidarity, poverty, hospitality, peace-making and protest. Explore ways to practise them against racism, inequality, homelessness and the climate crisis alongside spiritual guides including Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Jr and Pope Francis.<br><br>This book is a companion to the six weeks of Lent, with each week and its gospel focus corresponding to one of Jesus’ six spiritualities of social justice. It culminates in a fresh look at the traditions of Holy Week. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and a suggested spiritual practice, making it ideal for use with a group as well as for personal prayer.</p>
