From Berkeley
Divinity School and the Lutheran Studies Program: Despite our fine collective
venerable culinary traditions—which brought the world delicacies such as mushy
peas, giant radishes, marmite, lingonberries, and an untold number of pickled
fish—the Episcopal and Lutheran studies students decided instead to share a
meal with a bit more substance: bread as body and wine as blood. Join us
for a combined holy communion.
