Hot dogs
and Communion at the Hope Rescue Mission.
I will also think of the body of Christ now with this scene in
mind. Doctors and housewives and
professors in nice shoes and brightly colored sweaters shuffling to the table
together with men and women who hadn’t changed clothes for days or weeks. The sophisticated smell of after-shave mixed
with the sharp scent of dirty socks and stale smoke. People whose lives seemed all together sharing
the same loaf with people whose lives were broken and tattered. We were all one body, for we all ate from the
same loaf.

Lord’s Supper
