As we approach our five-year Potluck Church birthday, it’s amazing to see how many others have joined with us in the dinner church movement. God has made something old new again. Seeds planted and scattered have started to take root, and it’s an honor to get to watch them grow. Many have looked to St. Lydia’s and its planter Emily Scott for inspiration and generous encouragement. Next year, Kendall Vanderslice’s new book, We Will Feast,will offer us a sense of how dinner church has grown and developed in faith and practice over these last few years.
In 2015, Bud Tillinghast started an ecumenical dinner church website and two Facebook groups (one for broad conversations about the historical and theological underpinnings of dinner churches and the other for practical, how-to conversations). If you are just beginning to think about spreading a table for worship in this way, let me encourage you to set aside some time to dive into the deep web of connections that Bud has woven at The Dinner Church Movement Facebook page. You’ll find stories of discernment, wandering, and a wonderful diversity of possibilities for what God might be calling your church’s table to become.
