Lent is a tricky season, calling us to consider lots of things we don’t often like to look at—suffering, need, sacrifice, chaos. The contributors to this issue of Bearings surely feel that vibe, refusing thin gestures of “giving up” one trifle or another as a thin symbol of solidarity. But they also refuse to give in, insisting on concrete, creative, community-based expressions of change that are the only meaningful expressions of hope for people and a planet in urgent need. Join Diane Bowers, Jamye Wooten, Jason Hines, artist DeAnne Parks, and, from our archives, Mark Collins for a collection of powerful reflections and inspirations for the Lenten season.
