Book Event: “Sharing the Crust” by Mark Gornick

A Baltimore memoir witha St. Thomas’ Connection

Join author Mark Gornick as he discusses his book, Sharing the Crust: A Communion of Saints in a Baltimore Neighborhood. In the book, Mark tells the story of an unbreakable love through the life and witness of Allan Tibbels and a communion of saints in the Sandtown neighborhood of Baltimore.

Sharing the Crust is about the power of small changes, “the little way,” and the hard work of peacemaking in a divided world. It is about the meaning of companionship in this life and the life to come, of who we are to one another. A refreshingly complex story of ministry, church life, and community development, Sharing the Crust is a witness to faith, hope, and love for our times.

Bio: Mark R. Gornik is an American theologian, missiologist, author, pastor, and director of City Seminary of New York.

St. Thomas’ Connection
