At Table
•
Jeff Lehn
Today's episode is about the potent theological symbol of the table - a place of gathering, connection and sustenance. We remember who and whose we are. This summer, we've been "eating our way" through the Gospel of Luke with Jesus. His table practice was radical, inspiring the harshest criticism from his opponents (e.g. "a glutton and drunkard...a friend of tax collectors and sinners it"). This focus on the table has been blessing and inspiring me in this tumultuous time we are living through. How can we gather with others around the table to remind ourselves that we belong to one another?
