SCHOOL OF MINISTRY OF THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA What we eat and why it matters: Exploring a theology of food Some suggestions for facilitators Ministry in adult Christian formation: Welcome to this opportunity for ministry! Serving as a facilitator while members of your parish reflect together about our calling to engage with one another about matters of faith is a service to the Church. Blessings to you in this role. Exploring a theology of food: The theme of this DVD has to do with how food intersects with our faith lives. Food might seem like a strange (even boring?) topic for church study. We know that God calls us to worship, to pray, and to engage in acts of charity toward the poor. But does God really care if we eat pasta or beef for dinner? If we dig a little deeper, however, we find that food is at the very center of our lives as Christians. From the Eucharist to the Lord’s Prayer, God and food are intimately intertwined in our worship and prayer lives. Th

Greening your Congregation 101 The reasons for starting a Faith and Environment group are as varied as our churches. Perhaps someone asked, “Why don’t we… • Start recycling all the paper we use • Help with the community clean-up • Buy local foods for our events • Plant some vegetables for the food bank in that weedy space in back of the church. ” Perhaps someone went to a Green Day workshop or heard a sermon on Creation care and came back all fired up, ready to act. Now what? First Steps • Gather people together, adults and youth • Provide a focus – a short video, an interesting article to read out loud together, a Creation litany • Some groups may want to begin with a group study. See the HOPE Conference and Earth Ministry sites for ideas • Gather ideas for work, discuss them, and, depending on the group, let people take ownership of their own projects or set group priorities o Which are most important to us o Which are “doable” o Which will help our church community understand our

Our Most Important Task? How Economics and Ecology Are Intertwined By Michael Schut We all have our passions. Thank God for that. The embers of social change smolder, kindled by such passion. Periodically the embers explode, spreading like wildfire, fueled by that same passion. What is our passion, our most important task? How would you answer that question? Bringing economics home I would say that task is to once again nestle our economic system within Earth’s cycles, Earth’s economy, recognizing that everything we have, everything that feeds our economy, comes from God s creation. In a way "nestle" is too gentle a word -- wrestle comes to mind. Now, at the first mention of "economy" or "economics," some of us freeze as if caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck. Economics, at its most basic, simply concerns itself with who gets what and how we manage and share the gifts of Earth. As it is, our economy sees itself as separate from, rather than fully dependent upon, Earth
