The Word Became Flesh is a short film for Church on Morgan, following the life of the communion bread from stone-ground wheat, through mixing, baking, and bringing the bread through the city of Raleigh to Church on Morgan, where it's served at a communion ceremony. A central idea to Christianity is that God became flesh. This is represented in this short film through the physical and tangible symbol of bread that Christians engage with through communion. In our modern society, it's easy to scoff at ceremonies like this that often seem distant and archaic. But people often overlook how important symbols and rituals are in shaping an identity. Identities are shaped by rituals every day - whether the act of checking your phone in the morning or the act of cheering your favorite sports team - and by creating an intentional experience, Christians are able to express their faith in a tangible way, which is something to be respected, regardless of faith.
