Let Us Go to God: A Call from the Reclaiming Jesus Elders
Jim Wallis
Lent. 2020. The upcoming liturgical season and this momentous
political year. How do these two things connect?
Spiritual disciplines are always timeless, but they also can be
powerfully timely in our personal and public lives. Many of us
would say that the 2020 presidential election may be the most
important in any of our lifetimes for the future of the country,
and a sign of whether genuine and inclusive democracy in the
United States even has a future. At the same time, calls for
prayer, fasting, and repentance are centuries old -- they
continually demand that Christians go deeper in preparation to
worship a risen Christ.
So today we announce a new Lenten call by the same elders who
released the Reclaiming Jesus declaration. This is a clear
call for church leaders, pastors, and local congregations to
engage in daily prayer and weekly fasting beginning on Ash
Wednesday and continuing through the November elections, engaging
in repentance that leads us to action. We invite you to
prayerfully read this letter from the Reclaiming Jesus elders,
answer its call by adding your name, and consider how you
can spread this message in your life, family, and faith
community this Lent.
Answer the call by adding your name below, and we'll send you a
daily reflection from the elders and other voices of faith to
sustain your practice.
