Who leads the church?
Is it the Archbishop? Is it God? Is it the Rector? What about the Church Council and the Churchwardens? Perhaps all of the above. Even if it is possible that they might be leading off in different directions.
Or perhaps not leading anywhere. Or like the people lost in the bush, leading us so we say “We’ve passed this place before.” All churches have leaders: people who help the church go in a certain direction. These leaders don’t always have official jobs. Sometimes they have never been on a Church Council but they nevertheless exercise powerful leadership.
Some don’t even recognise that they are leaders. Others see themselves more as protectors than leaders, but the result is the same. Some lead from the rear. Others are encouragers and make the bullets that others fire.
There are two kinds of leaders.

Welcome to the Big Autumn Count Down.
In the religious world Lent is the period leading up to Easter. In different times and places it has been of a different length. It gradually grew to be 47 days. At first it was a one week preparation period for the Easter Baptisms. Fasting was part of it – again there were different patterns and traditions. The “40 days” are the days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Eve excluding the Sundays.
Will it make any difference to your following of Christ if you “observe Lent”? I suppose it depends what you do and why? Some traditions are meant to help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word and repent and seek change and renewal.
Some traditions provide a kind of scaffolding or structure that aims to order and channel our life into a better way.
