dynamite when mixed with this summers scripture readings are The Rituals of Din ner by Margaret Visser and The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf Scriptural Overview The main theme for the rest of the summers readings then is bread the breaking of it and the various layers of meaning that surround it Both Margaret Visser and Naomi Wolf also write about bread and the various symbolic levels of bread in their new books Naomi Wolf writes about bread in connection with dieting She writes Food is the primal sym bol of social worth Whom a socie ty values it feeds well She notes that the etymology of com

granted Trust the Lord today Tomorrow may never come Religion and Reality by Jim Ryan ting us up for a comparison bet ween Moses and Yahweh and Jesus Jesus will lead the people into a new Promised Land John takes this theme further in the next few weeks with references to manna and different kinds of bread Solitude If you can get a chance to be alone this summer The kids are asleep the dog has
