Authors Lavinia Byrne and Jane McBride has an unusual suggestion for connecting with God this Lent and it involves the classic musical.
Lent is a time in the Christian calendar when many choose to set aside time to think, pray, engage with scripture and its themes. As a result, we can find new ways to be and to behave in the world. In other words, we consider our place in God’s creation and how we use the time and resources we have in ways that build up those around us and help everyone to flourish.
We have written this Lent book in conjunction with the musical/movie West Side Story, and given it the title A Place for Us, after one of the musical’s most memorable songs. This evokes the idea of practically creating a place during Lent within which we reflect and around which we act.
