Church, Place and Agriculture
in an Urban World
Save the Date!
Conference Registration opens this Friday, June 18!
Ours is a world in which transportation is becoming extremely costly (as was highlighted by the massive costs of the BP Oil Spill) and yet at the same time is a world that is becoming increasingly urban. Common sense would seem to indicate that these trends will impact in a major way our food systems and the way we eat. Given these factors, what is the church’s redemptive role in caring for the health and wholeness (shalom) of not just humanity, but all creation? Englewood Christian Church has invited several speakers with rich experiences in sustainable agriculture to lead a conversation reflecting on this question and related ones about church, place, food, community and agriculture, and we invite you to join us.
Speakers:
* Fred Bahnson: Writer and Co-founder of Anathoth Community Garden * Martin Price:
Former Director of Educational Concerns For Hunger Organization (ECHO)* Ragan Sutterfield:
Arkansas Farmer/Writer, Author of FARMING AS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINEWorkshops Lead By :
Main speakers and others TBA
When: Friday October 29 and Saturday October 30, 2010
Where: Englewood Christian Church / Indianapolis
