Setting the Table for "The Sacred Meal"

Welcome to "The Sacred Meal" -- an online Lenten book study group.

As noted in the description of this site, "The Sacred Meal" is a book that connects the three foundational values of All Saints Church -- Spirituality, Community and Peace & Justice -- through history, theology and story telling. I think it provides the perfect jumping off place to explore "the meaning behind the meal" of Holy Communion. And since I'm a fan of Nora Gallagher, Lent and the Eucharist I'm excited about the chance to put all three together in this Lenten book study blog.

While it is certainly not mandatory that you register as a follower of this blog (over on the right column) it would be great to know you're following along, even if you don't make comments. I hope, however, that "The Sacred Meal" will stimulate your questions and comments as well as inform your Lenten journey.

So ... time to "set the table" for "The Sacred Table:"

Get the Book (either from your local bookstore or order online at the link on the right)

Stay Tuned: On Ash Wednesday (February 17) I'll post the first in a series of "soup starters" for our discussion and reflection -- covering the Introduction and first two chapters of "The Sacred Table."

Keep Coming Back as we journey together through the 40 days of Lent to Easter.

Questions? Ask them in the comment section below (if you're asking someone else may be wondering, too!) or email me.

"The sacred meal that is part of our faith does more than connect us to the holy. It connects us to each other." -- Nora Gallagher

And so, I hope, will this Lenten journey we'll take together.
