2021 Catholic Media Association Award first place award in Catholic Social Teaching
In The Meal That Reconnects, Dr. Mary Mc Gann, RSCJ, invites readers to a more profound appreciation of the sacredness of eating, the planetary interdependence that food and the sharing of food entails, and the destructiveness of the industrial food system that is supplying food to tables globally. She presents the food crisis as a spiritual crisis—a call to rediscover the theological, ecological, and spiritual significance of eating and to probe its challenge to Christian eucharistic practice. Drawing on the origins of Eucharist in Jesus’s meal fellowship and the worship of early Christians, Mc Gann invites communities to reclaim the foundational meal character of eucharistic celebration while offering pertinent strategies for this renewal.
