Becoming Chris Kamalski

I really enjoyed talking to myself on Twitter this morning regarding what I was choosing to fast from in Lent. In the height of irony, I announced via social media that I was going to fast from all things including social media! I am a comic of the highest order, no doubt. This comes in response to what our faith community, 3rd Place, is moving into regarding Lent. I have been privileged to lend my voice to this conversation taking place all throughout Pretoria, helping craft a downloadable PDF filled with prayers, meditations, and exercises designed to engaged you in the oldest fast within the Christian community. Also, I introduced this season last week during an Ash Wednesday experience we entitled “TORN.” Listen along, here:
