[Press Release] LWF launches 2026 Lent series “Closer – on the way to the cross”
Press ReleaseThis article is based on a press release or official communication from Wire News Service. The European Times republishes it as a public service.

“Lent invites proximity — with God, with ourselves, and with realities we would rather avoid: our own complicity, strangers at the border, the suffering of the earth, systemic injustices, and fractured relationships,” said Rev. Dr. Anupama Hial, LWF Program Executive for Global Public Theology. “In coming closer to the cross, we discover that God is already present in places of suffering and injustice, drawing us into hope and courageous discipleship.” 

Follow the Lent series from 18 February to 4 April on LWF’s website, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads for a new message each day—offering faith encouragement and inspiration throughout the Lenten season.
