Listeners, you are in for a special treat today as we get to know author and food theologist Kendall Vanderslice by her shelf. In today's episode, I get the opportunity to chat with Kendall about what food theology is and how she shares it with other through her business, Edible Theology, as well as how God draws her by her stomach, her complicated relationship to bread, and how rituals of fasting and feasting work together for those who observe them. You're also going to want to hear how Kendall was incentivized to read through prizes and the two books you could read to get to know Kendall better. Kendall's new book, By Bread Alone: A Baker's Reflections on Hunger, Longing, and the Goodness of God, releases today, February 28, 2023. If you enjoy this conversation and want to hear more, grab a copy of this beautiful book.

In this episode, Anna and April draw from our respective academic disciplines (social work and theology) and Sara Miles' memoir Take This Bread to discuss strategies for how to sustain ourselves in the work of healing and justice, including neurodivergent-friendly alternatives to meditation. Sara Miles' connection to bodily spiritual experience, her conviction that her “body was connected literally and mysteriously to other bodies and loved without reason” and the grace she experienced through communion led her to start a food pantry through her church that empowered the people who came there to engage in it themselves, to feed others as they had been fed–it's a story of creating beauty and justice in the midst of the messiness of community. April and Anna also reflect on what we've learned in grad school so far.

About Guest Sara Miles -Take This Bread : A Radical ConversionEarly one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised an atheist, wandered into a church, received communion, and found herself transformed–embracing a faith she’d once scorned. A lesbian left-wing journalist who’d covered revolutions around the world, Miles didn’t discover a religion that was about angels or good behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food, and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to be given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their city. This is a public episode.

Sara Miles was an atheist. Then one day, out of idle curiosity, she wandered into a church, had a bite of bread and a sip of wine and God came crashing into her life. Her response was to take the principles of communion and set up a food distribution centre around the altar of her church for anyone and everyone to enjoy. So tune in for some fascinating insights into what it means to eat at God's table.

The ability to act as Jesus acts is not something that belongs exclusively to ordained clergy or ‘holy” people, but is something we all have by the simple virtue of being human and having God’s life breathed into us. These are the hopeful words . . .
