Who is Sara Miles?

The second session of Animate: Practices, Food: Eating with Jesus, is presented by Sara Miles.

From the Spark House website:

Sara Miles is a writer whose book Take This Bread tells the story of her "unexpected and inconvenient" conversion to Christianity, and how a mystical first experience of Holy Communion led her to organize hungry people to offer literally tons of free groceries at the altar each week, without conditions. She's the author of Jesus Freak: Feeding Healing Raising the Dead, about unorthodox Christian communities built around actually doing these works of Jesus, and City of God, which looks at public worship through one Ash Wednesday as it unfolds in the streets of her city. 

Sara is Director of Ministry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church, and the founder and director of The Food Pantry. She preaches and speaks widely around the country. 

Five fast facts:

1. Lives in San Francisco with her wife
2. Posts a daily bouquet made entirely from flowers grown in her backyard
3. Also grows figs, lemons, apples, apricots, plums, and blueberries—no vegetables
4. Used to work as a war correspondent, writing about revolutions, counter-revolutions, and post-Vietnam military doctrine
5. Devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe
