The goal of Ash Wednesday is to reflect upon our humanness, our need for forgiveness, and our connection to Christ’s last days. I have always believed that Baptists must be led by scripture, reason, tradition, and experience ( the Wesleyan Quadrilateral) with scripture being the final authority.Īsh Wednesday marked the first day of Lent.
This of course does not happen in a vacuum. Since we Baptists do not have a book of worship or order, like other denominations, Baptists are free to worship as they feel led. Each Baptist church has the freedom to worship however the church sees fit. Two of the classic Baptist distinctives is local autonomy and soul liberty. Despite the misnomer, Baptists do celebrate Ash Wednesday and Lent, especially this Baptist. Huh? A Baptist who celebrates Ash Wednesday and Lent? That’s like an American celebrating Boxing Day.
