Pause for Thought
The Rev'd Sharon Grenham-Toze, Anglican Vicar and Prison Chaplain.
Bread has been a staple food for human beings for many thousands of years. It’s developed in different ways across countries and cultures, from the French baguette to the Mexican tortilla, the Asian naan to the white sliced we know so well in the UK today.
Bread’s known as the ‘staff of life’ – probably because it is such a basic food, made of so few, simple, readily available ingredients – flour, salt, sugar, yeast, oil, water. If you can’t rustle up some bread, you’re in a bad way.
Bread’s also the slang word for money, as is ‘dough’. The basics of life again: without money in this old world, things can get complicated.
For much of its history bread’s been made fresh every day, by hand, usually by the women in the household. In some ways it’s quite hard work making bread – getting the ingredients together, mixing it up, kneading the dough, waiting for it to rise, making sure the oven’s the right temperature. Making bread by hand does feel like a labour of love –so it’s great when someone you care for tucks into the warm, fresh loaf you’ve spent hours producing.
And I think working hard to show care and love for those close to you is a basic of life too.
So, life, love, nurture – all summed up in a loaf of bread. Is it any wonder that bread plays a major part in religion too?
In my role as a priest, when I celebrate communion, with its bread and wine, I’m demonstrating to the world in those symbols that God knows and cares about our material needs, that we’re loved and that faith is one of the basics of life too.
It’s so easy to take our ‘daily bread’ for granted – and yet, of course, for so many people across the world, all of the things represented by bread are in short supply. Maybe today as we eat our lunchtime sandwich (or even a late breakfast!) we could quietly give thanks for what that bread represents to us – life, love, nurture, and see if we couldn’t spread it around a bit. -
Today's show was entitled "The longer you wear it, the less you have to wash it!"
The show was dedicated to anyone who is going where they normally go, but not how they normally go!
