Mark Gornik: "Sharing the Crust"

Mark Gornik will discuss his book, Sharing the Crust, as part of the Pratt Maryland Department’s Let’s Talk About Maryland author series.

In Sharing the Crust, Mark Gornik 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.
