Lenten reflections on Water

Seven Weeks for Water 2020

The World Council of Churches Ecumenical Water Network (WCC-EWN) invites you to use the season of Lent to reflect on water.

This year the Biblical-theological reflections and resources focus on the water crisis in the Pacific region.

Since 2008, the WCC-EWN through its campaign “Seven Weeks for Water” - has been providing weekly theological reflections and other resources on water for the seven weeks of Lent and for World Water Day on 22 March (which always falls during the Lenten period).

The reflections will be published on the WCC-EWN website and we encourage member churches to use these resources during the Lenten period.

Week 5:
