Giving up Captialism for Lent Series - The Bias

This Lent I helped edit and curate a series for The Bias on Giving up Capitalism for Lent (while it was disrupted by the COVID pandemic I am hoping to expand and deepen it in future years).

Here is my first Introduction to the series, “Following Christ into the Wilderness”

For the second installment, David Dault’s “Devliver Us from Our Comforts: Lent Beyond Bourgoies Discipliens.”

For the third instalment, Klem-Marí Cajigas’ “Lent, Coffee, and Covid.”

For the fourth installment, Kira Dault's “Knowledge and Power in Holy Week.”
