“I will break bread only with those who know
that breaking and blessing are one thing,
who worship the breaking open and the broken down,
who refuse to be given away,
but give themselves over to the blessing of being
embodied and sacred and free.”
—From “Communion”
In Breaking and Blessing, the 2020 volume of the inSpirit Series, Rev. Sean Parker Dennison imagines letters from angels, draws on the natural world, and reflects on love and calling. They chart a path, moving here and there, as if across a constellation—connecting mathematics to love, stars to saplings, and breaking to blessing. Rev. Dennison’s striking debut will serve as both solace and flame to readers looking for them in equal measure.
