Of the many different self-study Lent courses and resources offered this year by dioceses in the Church of England (see: twitter.com/anglicanspb/status/1754159397473865759), a couple that are worth exploring are:

* Diocese of Blackburn's "Journey to Freedom" Lent 2024 Devotional booklet (tinyurl.com/23b3an8m) which explores the Book of Exodus and can be read in conjunction with +Philip North's Lent course of the same name, which is in 5 parts (Slavery/Call/Rescue/Hunger/Mountain): tinyurl.com/2c9k828l; and

* Diocese of Chichester's "Jesus the Lord" course, which 'invites us to consider the vital question of who Jesus is'; each part comprises biblical references, BCP prayers, a reflection on the theme and a reflection on an image from Martin Earle’s depiction of the cross of Jesus tinyurl.com/254tfhjn
