ANGEL BREAD PROGRAM
The Angel Bread Program employs Christian themes with metaphors and parables from the Bible as lessons for a more humane personhood and society. The program organizes community baking events in parishes and communities where people express interest and initiative, in order to inspire people to weave together closer relationships of love and sharing, combining the making of bread with the reading and discussion of Scripture, preferably with a priest or theologian. The name “Angel Bread” is inspired by the beautiful classical hymn “Panis Angelicus”, which sings about the “Bread of Angels” which became the “Bread of Man” – Christ offering Himself as the Bread of the World.
