Lent 2025
Lent is a season of penance, prayer and repentance, where repentance can mean not only regret and remorse, but also a “change of mind”, a turning around to the right path. Humanity certainly needs Lent. Let us model it where we can.
Lent Course: Calling a Wounded Earth Home
Our main recommendation, Green Christian’s 5-week Lent Course, Calling a Wounded Earth Home, is now available for churches to use in 2025. Inspired by Green Christian’s Deep Waters Course, it asks “What kind of people might we need to be to face the challenges of climate change?”
Here is a space to go deeper together, and a space of contemplation that can resource meaningful action.
Plenty!
Our own Plenty! course can be used for Lent – it is all very applicable within the thinking of the season of Lent and beyond.
Tenants of the King
Tenants of the King is a Bible-based resource from Operation Noah. This four-part study series is designed to help you and your church consider what the Bible has to say about today’s climate crisis. Particularly written for more evangelica Bible-based congregations, this study guide was updated last summer and is available as pdf or printed booklets.
Creation Care: Christian Responsibility
Christine Nellist, who helps to run Pan-Orthodox Concern for Animals, says: Please also look at the course on our website, which is themed and full of early and contemporary Christian quotes, which I am sure will be of use to you and to the parishes you will speak at. Happy for it to be modified for your audience

Campaigns
Writing in The Methodist Recorder, Green Christian member, John Anderson, says:
Traditionally we try to do fewer bad things in Lent. I think we should try to do more good things. We should not shrivel and retreat. We should gird our loins and advance …We face national and global challenges; our cosmic Christ inspires us to act world-wide in his name. By modern communications networks we can do this more effectively than any previous generation … Giving to charities is good; acting to bring about major world change is better
