Going to church today made me miss seasons. I've been trying to keep Lenten tradition on my own, but Palm Sunday catches me off-guard when it's not preceded by weeks of Lenten services. It seems so sudden and out of context.
Liturgical seasons build a continuity of services focused around the main themes of our faith. Yes, it gives us a predictable calendar, but it also provides the framework for a systematic study of the different facets, different lessons we have to learn from each. It really helps me to be in a better, more aware place to celebrate Christmas and Easter if there is the context of Advent and Lent preceding each.
Why do some churches ignore that?
