We Are Each Other’s Bread and Wine
As Bridgefolk participants grow in understanding and appreciating the profound gifts of each other’s traditions, we are discovering how deeply the practice of eating together at the Lord’s Table sustains and enriches our life of Christian discipleship and peacemaking. Fed and nourished by the gift of Christ’s love, we are strengthened to share the peace of Christ in the church and in the world. To illuminate this vital connection, Bridgefolk invites sermons and homilies on these themes for regular posting in this online column.
