Abstract
To those of you who have given up a luxury for Lent, be it chocolate, chips or Chardonnay, congratulations! I am writing this on Refreshment Sunday when, to celebrate reaching the halfway mark, you are allowed a day of relaxation from your chosen Lenten rigors. A day of hope when Easter, and the resumption of self-indulgence, is in sight. And one of only two days in the year when pink church vestments are worn.
