In a world of ethnic and religious conflict, author Lynne Meredith Golodner was struck by a powerful idea. One force unites people across all faiths and cultures: Food. Whatever may divide us, all religious traditions share transmission of tradition through food as a sacred value. That inspiration grew into an idea for a series of books that explore those common bonds, starting with the most basic element of all: bread.
The result is Flavors of Faith: Holy Breads.
This year is the 150th anniversary of America’s Thanksgiving. One national effort to unite communities across cultural boundaries, Season of Gratitude, already plans to officially recommend The Flavors of Faith as one way for communities to easily organize diverse discussion groups this year.
Lynne Golodner is already booking opportunities to speak to crowds about faithful foods that unite us. The appeal is so simple: Fascinated with faith and our world’s colorfully diverse cultures? Like to make new friends? You’ll love this book about timeless spiritual connections through food.
