Hello,
So, from an Anglican/Episcopal perspective, I was wondering, what are you supposed to do during Lent? I'm not officially a Christian just yet, but I still want to partake in Lent, just to try it out and possibly use it for spiritual enrichment and getting closer to God.
I live with Roman Catholics right now and, from what I understand, they refrain from eating meat on Fridays and I think they also give up something during Lent. Is this something that Anglicans/Episcopals do as well? Also, does it matter if I get my ashes on Ash Wednesday from a Roman Catholic service? They'll be having one on my school's campus and I was thinking of attending that one instead of driving a great distance to my closest Episcopal church to get ashes.
