Tish Harrison Warren points out when comparing the economy of our contemporary culture to the economy of Christ: We are formed by our habits of consumption. And in contemporary America, this daily formation is often at odds with our formation in Word and sacrament. In this alternative economy of the true bread of life, we are turned inside out so that we are no longer people marked by scarcity, jockeying for our own good, but are new people, truly nourished, and therefore able to extend nourishment to others.
