Hello Maggie,
It’s Maundy Thursday, the day we remember Jesus' last supper with his friends, and so today we’re reflecting on how food connects to community.
We’ve spent a lot of time on this Lenten journey using the phrase Soul Food as a metaphor for all the ways our souls are nourished. But talking about spiritual nourishment instead of physical nourishment can feel very privileged, when so many people living in the UK and around the world are experiencing food insecurity.
What do the words of Jesus ‘‘we do not live by bread alone” mean to people who are desperately struggling for enough food in their daily lives?
Today we bring you two videos. The first from people with lived experience of food insecurity, reflecting candidly on the theme Soul Food and on those words of Jesus.
The second is a conversation between Holly and Andy from Reading, about the work he’s involved in running a local pantry.
