Some people's take on the feeding of the five thousand is that a little boy shared his lunch-box.
Mine on reading the notice that advises me of this meal is to mourn the failure to use the word Lenten, because my understanding of a lent lunch is a sandwich that you somehow expected to get back, and I feel a richness and a beauty in this specific adjective for the church season of Lent - the word aurally has a better ring to it than the monosyallabic Lent: 'we welcome to you our service at this Lenten time'.
Yet it is the church itself that is turning its back on this word, because who else, other than the various denominations and some charities, has Lent lunches?
