Hope25 Lenten Studies 2025 is designed to inspire contemplation of the hope we have in Jesus as we journey through the Lenten season towards the joyous celebration of his resurrection on Easter Day. This programme will function as a precursor to the ‘Hope25 – Hope in an Uncertain World’ project, which seeks to empower Australian Anglican parishes and communities in an intentional season of Parish-based evangelism, sharing hope in Jesus from Easter to Pentecost in 2025.
The Lenten study book comprises 47 commentaries written by Australian bishops, with accompanying reflection, based around the bible reading for each of the days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day. The study programme is divided into six themes centred on the hope we have as Christians, confirmed by a biblical source; each one culminating with a testimony from an Anglican parishioner on finding ‘Hope in Jesus’, followed by a set of questions for a group study.
