UPDATED with a new title & ISBN Come to the A Passover Seder for Parish Use . In response to enthusiastic requests, Come to the Table has been revised to help any liturgical congregation called to celebrate the Lord's Supper in His tradition. Please note that the liturgy in Come to the Table derives structure from but does not replicate the Jewish seder.

I'm a sociologist, culture critic, longtime spiritual seeker, and award-winning author of 11 published books with one always in the works. I write about what I've studied, experienced, and personally need to understand in more depth; sowing seeds for the next book in the fertile ground of the one I'm currently writing.
BIG GOALS: making complex concepts easier to understand; encouraging readers to think a bit differently about, oh, everything; and providing actionable tips to build community and enhance spiritual life--while getting readers to laugh-snort at least once while reading. Reader email always welcomed, as are positive (and kind) reviews.
Day job? Consultant since 1989, providing digital communications services as well as crisis communications counsel to local churches and judicatories across denominations. I also serve the healthcare industry.
Meredith Gould is a friend of Daphne's. She recently stayed at our house. We had interesting conversation stemming from my just reading Jesus, Interrupted. She is very familiar with Ehrman. She gave me two books. This one really helps put "The Last Supper" into more perspective, since it was Passover Sader, and not a bad way to celebrate Holly Week.
