HOLY TRINITY LENT COURSE
This year's Lent Book is Evelyn Underhill's The School of Charity, Meditations on the Christian Creed. Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) was a prolific Christian writer and teacher and a sought-after retreat leader of her time. Indeed, some of her writing on Christian mysticism remains highly influential to this day. Her book The School of Charity was published as the official Lent Book for the Diocese of London in 1934. Although the book's language may be a bit dated, the content is certainly not as it provides sharp insight into the spiritual meaning of some of Christianity's key teachings and provides us with practical help for our own Christian Way.
Lent Groups are not meeting, in order to comply with Government guidance concerning the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak. However, please read this book if you can during Lent. If you don't have a copy and would like to order one, see https://www.amazon.co.uk/School-Charity-Meditations-Christian-Creed/dp/0819215481
