Bridgefolk seeks sermons, poetry and art for book project

Bridgefolk is inviting sermons and homilies as well as poetry and art that reflect on the relationship between eating together at the Lord’s Table and our life of Christian peacemaking. Submissions will be considered for publication in a new book, We Are Each Other’s Bread and Wine: Mennonite and Catholic Reflections on Eucharist and Peacemaking.

This book project is a collaborative effort among Mennonites and Catholics to share reflections and convictions on the profound gifts of each tradition — the Eucharist and peacemaking — for the sake of encouraging richer Christian worship and more faithful Christian discipleship in the world. The contents of the book will be invited from Catholic and Mennonite communities in the United States, Canada, and abroad. The Institute of Mennonite Studies (AMBS) plans to publish the book jointly with a Catholic publisher.

We hope the book will explore questions such as:

  • How does the feast we share nourish our passion for peacemaking?
  • How does the ministry of Jesus and his work on the cross inspire us to become peacemakers?
  • How do our active lives of working for justice and making peace call us back to the Lord’s Table.
