Emily Scott: Showing Up at the Table
“The notion of sitting around the table every week with whoever shows up has disallowed me from ever looking at anyone and thinking, ‘That person is not really a person.’”
“Just keep coming back to the table. All you need to do is show up.”
Amy talks with Emily Scott, the former founding pastor of St. Lydia’s dinner church in Brooklyn and the current founding pastor of Dreams and Visions in Baltimore, on the connection between food and spirituality, centering church around the practice of the table and the beautiful nature of seeing the humanity in each other when sharing a meal.
