When Bread Became More Than Food
A war correspondent who'd spent a decade covering revolutions across Latin America walked into a San Francisco church on a cloudy morning with zero intention of becoming religious. Sara Miles-raised by militantly secular parents in Greenwich Village, shaped by restaurant kitchens and conflict zones-simply wanted to see an interesting building. Then someone placed bread in her hands and said "the body of Christ," and everything changed. She found herself physically unbalanced, knocked sideways by something she couldn't explain. "Jesus happened to me," she writes, struggling to reconcile what she thought was happening (eating bread), what someone said was happening (receiving Christ's body), and what she knew was happening (God was suddenly, impossibly real). That moment launched her into the messiest, most radical expression of Christianity imaginable-one that would eventually feed hundreds of San Francisco's hungriest residents from the altar of an Episcopal church.
