St. Mary's Episcopal Church Kinston

The Bake & Pray Workshop with Kendall Vanderslice is an afternoon of bread-making and prayer. Blending baking science and technique with theological reflection, Kendall will teach participants how to incorporate bread-making into the rhythms of their busy lives. Whether lifelong bakers or intimidated by the thought of yeast, participants will step away from the workshop with a practical understanding of how to bake bread and a deep appreciation for the ways God can shape them in the process.

Bio: Kendall Vanderslice is a baker, writer, and the founder of the Edible Theology Project. A graduate of Duke Divinity School (Master of Theological Studies), Boston University (MLA Gastronomy), and Wheaton College (BA Anthropology), she has committed her life to the study of food and community formation. Kendall is a professionally trained baker, having learned from several top American pastry chefs.
