Lent begins this week, and so this episode looks at how the Book of Common Prayer commemorates Ash Wednesday. You'll notice one thing right away: there are no ashes! But there are the 7 Penitential Psalms, a Communion Service with Scripture readings, and a special service called "A Commination, or Denouncing of God's Anger and Judgements Against Sinners." Listen to learn more about the Biblical selections and theology of Ash Wednesday in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.
