Learn more on the Historic Sites Foundation website.  The Kirtland Temple, Kirtland, Ohio, USA  Daily Bread, the popular Community of Christ devotional, recently celebrated a birthday.
The brief stories originally in book form were officially suggested to “strengthen the spiritual foundations on which personal righteousness depends” 1 January, 1949. The first volume, about 5 by 7 inches, included women writers. To mark its 70th year, Daily Bread stories from throughout the decades are the primary stories used during the month of September. A foreword by Israel Smith, president of the church in 1949, recommended the devotions to the church membership. Since then, members, officials and others have submitted stories of faith, often inspired by scripture. The former Herald House publication is now a blog, in English, on CofChrist.org. For the September selections, Katie Harmon-McLaughlin (Spiritual Formation Ministries) and Jane Gardner (presiding evangelist) chose stories that represent our past while carrying threads of connection into the future. “Daily Bread has a long and rich history in the church,” Harmon-McLaughlin explained. She especially appreciated the articles that illustrated the many hundreds of connections between church members. Daily Bread Details Read online: Daily Bread devotionals Subscribe (free): Daily Bread email Harmon-McLaughlin continues to ask everywhere she travels for Daily Bread stories. To submit: www.CofChrist.org/daily-bread-writers-guide If you know someone who doesn’t have an internet connection and would enjoy Daily Bread, sign up for Harmon-McLaughlin’s PDF email list. You’ll receive Daily Bread in PDF form, which can easily be printed. Reply to khmclaughlin@CofChrist.org to join the list.  Greetings -
