Despre această carte electronică
“It is a particular thrill to follow [Gallagher] to the Lord’s Table; I know of no contemporary writer whose insights about the Eucharist match hers.” —Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author of Wearing God
The sacred meal that is part of our faith does more than connect us to the holy, it connects us to each other.
“I think Jesus wanted his disciples and everyone who came after him to remember what they had together. What they made together. What it meant to be together. How the things he did could not have been done without them.”
In her inimitable style of memoir and personal reflection, Nora Gallagher explores the beauty and mystery of this most fascinating of topics. Whether exploring the history of Christian communion, taking us inside the workings of a soup kitchen, or sharing times of joy and sadness with friends, she reminds us what it means to partake of, and be part of, the body of Christ.
A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.
“Nora Gallagher does just what Holy Communion does: she folds sacred life and ordinary life together like a sandwich, holding it out to me so that I suddenly remember how hungry I am.” —Barbara Brown Taylor, New York Times–bestselling author of An Altar in the World
