Appetite - Rev Dr Andrew Butcher

In Lent, we might be thinking a lot about appetites, and how we have set aside our appetite for chocolate or wine or chips or whatever in the spirit of giving up for Lent, in the full knowledge that come Easter Sunday we can resume our gluttony with fervour.But there’s something about appetite that we need to retain – it’s not all fasting and sour faces. In giving up our appetite for some things we may, instead, grow our appetite for God.
