{"product_id":"for-all-who-hunger","title":"For All Who Hunger","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmily Scott founded a church in Brooklyn that meets over dinner. What she ended up finding was an antidote to the loneliness of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmily Scott creates churches for people on the margins. As founding pastor of St. Lydia's Brooklyn, where the service takes place at a dinner table instead of a sanctuary, she spent eight years ministering to a scrappy collective of people from different backgrounds, incomes, and political persuasions. Each week, they broke bread, sang old songs, did the dishes, and made awkward conversation with strangers. But in a city where everyone lives on top of each other, yet everyone is lonely as hell, these gatherings filled a longing that most people - even Emily - didn't realise they had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book of stories from her unlikely congregation, Scott argues that these small acts of connection hold more power than we realise in a time when the world has become fragmented and our differences are being weaponised. She recalls her journey as a single, female pastor working in a male-dominated profession; how founding a strange church in Brooklyn with no funding or training led her to a more engaged, awake, and activated life; and the value of church as a place where people can hear not only that they are loved, but that they are good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'For All Who Hunger' is a thought-provoking, empowering read for anyone seeking hope in troubled times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emily M.
