From Michigan-The Rev. Chris Yaw of St. David’s Episcopal Church in Southfield was recently selected to participate in this year’s Lent Madness fourth annual “saintly smackdown” tournament as a “celebrity blogger” and provide enlightenment for the competition.
The Rev. Tim Schenck of St. John’s Church, an Episcopal church in Hingham, Mass., is the creator of Lent Madness, an online devotional tool for the Lenten Season, a 40-day preparation for Easter Sunday observed by Roman Catholics and select Christians.
Schenck came up with the idea of Lent Madness by combining the basics of the well known NCAA college basketball tournament, March Madness, with the devotion of Lent.
Schenck hoped to educate Lent observers of the history of saints that have come before them, remind them of the purpose of the Lenten season, and to have fun doing so.
