Sara's food mojo

My fabulous friend Sara Miles -- former chef and war correspondent -- started a food pantry in an Episcopal church in SF several years ago. It was such a success that she's started something like 15 others throughout the city since then. This recent piece by Sara in their church newsletter shows how she continues to be in touch with the truly spiritual aspect of feeding people and how the Eucharist is rooted in that simple act. Even if you're not religious, you should read that piece, because it's a powerful piece of writing. (One thing you should know when reading: at their church, it's their practice to sing, not read, the scriptures.)

Meanwhile, most of America thinks "Christians" are really like this:
- Ohio preacher pumps Republicans, compares evolutionists with Hitler
- D.C. pastor alleges "epidemic of lesbianism," claims it's the greatest threat to the black family
- DeLay to join in religious right's Supreme Court lobbying
