Celebrity Blogger Week: Laura Darling

No, your eyes don’t deceive you. Today’s featured Celebrity Blogger looks an awful lot like a former CB named Laura Toepfer. We were going to do a whole separated at birth thing to confuse the Lent Madness faithful but decided to come clean. Laura got married after Lent Madness 2013; hence the name change. So […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Megan Castellan

The celebrity parade that is Celebrity Blogger Week continues with second-year participant Megan Castellan. Megan has the distinction of being the only CB to blog from different parts of the country in consecutive years. Last year she was serving in Arizona and this year she calls Kansas City, Missouri, home. This wouldn’t be such a […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Amber Belldene

For the second day in a row, we’re featuring a rookie during Celebrity Blogger Week. Amber Belldene is not your grandfather’s Episcopal priest (unless your grandfather’s Episcopal priest was also a romance writer), which is one of the reasons we’re jazzed she’s joined us for our pursuit of the Golden Halo. Some of you have […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Maria Kane

Celebrity Blogger Week continues as we welcome a fresh face to the Lent Madness fold (not that the veteran bloggers have stale faces, mind you). Maria Kane is excited to be part of the Madness in 2014 and we’re excited she allowed us to twist her arm. Plus we told her she wouldn’t really have […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Maple Anglican

While not technically a Celebrity Blogger, Maple Anglican nonetheless has become the official video blogger of Lent Madness. Since the Supreme Executive Committee is generally benevolent, we have included the mysterious Maple Anglican in Celebrity Blogger Week. You can find Maple’s videos featuring Archbishop’s John Chrysostom and Thomas Cranmer on the newly created YouTube channel, […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Heidi Shott

Celebrity Blogger Week (or however long it takes) kicks off today! We’ll introduce you to our fabulous stable of writers who will help make Lent Madness 2014 happen  (please note: by “stable” we’re not implying that they’re all horses although Laurie Brock actually does own a horse named Nina). We’ve asked all of our non-equine […]

Free Gift!

Dear Friends, Today we offer you an amazing pre-Lenten gift. No, it’s not a hair shirt — you’ll have to find one of those on eBay. It’s a free, no-strings-attached newsletter/website article ghost written by the Supreme Executive Committee about Lent Madness 2014. Feel free to use it (for free!) in your church’s publications. If […]

Lent Madness to Occupy Advent!

As everyone knows, the Supreme Executive Committee of Lent Madness has a virtual monopoly on all things Lent. It’s gotten to the point where our legal team is exploring the possibility of copyrighting the color purple. So what are Tim and Scott doing meddling in the Season of Advent? Good question. But Forward Movement has […]

Back to Lent Month: Meredith Gould

Back-to-Lent Month continues with a recent book published by Meredith Gould, a member of the esteemed Celebrity Blogger Alumni Association. And, yes, the Supreme Executive Committee has the power to extend Back-to-Lent Month as long as it wants. As you might have guessed, we rule by whim and the Holy Spirit. About The Social Media […]

Back to Lent Month: Penny Nash

Veteran Celebrity Blogger Penny Nash recently contributed to a couple of compilation projects. The covers are so intriguing that we decided to feature these books in Back to Lent Month. Okay, we don’t just judge books by their covers at Lent Madness — or saints by their icons. But check these out for some additional […]
