Food & Faith: Cultivating an Appetite for Change

The Bible is a book about food. Once you start noticing, references to food are everywhere—in the Creation accounts, the Exodus delivery, Jesus’ feeding of the crowds and the Eucharistic meal. In this session we will discover a robust food ethic in scripture. Our relationship to food is complex, and there are moral issues all up and down the food chain—issues of food production and distribution, use of the land and water, food security, poverty, and economic justice. Thoughtful reflection may leave us hungry for change in how we grow, buy, eat and think about food.
