Hamblen Park Presbyterian Church is hosting their first annual HPPC Reads! event.
The event will include the discussion of Sara Miles' memoir Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion, facilitated by Dr. Pamela Corpron Parker, a Professor of English at Whitworth University.
Sara Miles is the founder and director of The Food Pantry, and serves as Director of Ministry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco. Her books include Jesus Freak: Feeding Healing Raising the Dead and Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion.
She speaks, preaches and leads workshops around the country, and her
writing has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker, and
on National Public Radio.
A review from O Magazine stated, "Miracles happen, or so it seems to Sara Miles, a 'blue-state, secular
intellectural; a lesbian; a left-wing journalist with a habit of
skepticism' who, upon tasting a Communion wafer, suddenly got religion
(to the horror of her atheist parents and friends)— or rather,
discovered her own consuming need for it. Take This Bread: A Radical
Conversion (Ballantine) is Miles' energized account of how her longtime
fondness for food became a sacred mission, as she began establishing
food pantries and devoting her life to giving the hungry sustenance. 'That impossible word, Jesus, lodged in me like a crumb,' she writes,
one of many tasty morsels in this surprising book."
