At a packed ecumenical Ash Wednesday service marking the start of Lent, the local Episcopal bishop challenged more than 800 people to use the season of repentance and reflection to recall the message of Jesus Christ.
"Lent calls us to be brutally honest... and calls us to come back to Jesus' agenda and that what he stood for is the good news of justice and compassion and integrity and peace," Bishop Gladstone "Skip" Adams said at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 400 Salt Springs Road, Fayetteville.
Jesus' agenda, Adams said, does not include war or federal budget cuts that harm the poor.
