In Still Hungry at the Feast, Episcopal priest and professor Samuel
Torvend invites readers to expand their experience and
understanding of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, as more than a
personal encounter with the risen Christ. Drawing on recent Jesus
research, the long history of eucharistic reflection among
Christians, and contemporary commitments to economic justice, Still
Hungry at the Feast invokes the integral relationship between
eucharistic practice and eucharistic mission. Here the ecumenical
pattern and meaning of the Mass opens toward care for our wounded
creation, solidarity with the poor and outcast, keeping the fast,
and recovering a eucharistic economy. Lectionary references will
assist those charged with liturgical preparation, while preachers
and catechists will find guidance in the eucharistic homilies that
conclude the book.
Communion, eucharist, the Lord's Support--by whatever name we call
it, the sharing of bread and wine in the Christian assembly is a
symbolic activity that possess more than one meaning. Samuel
Torvend repositions Holy Communions as a renewal activity between
the church and God.
