In this service, members of the Green Sanctuary Committee and Rev. Reed explored the practice of ethical eating—recognizing the moral dimensions of our food choices and the consequences of the ways we raise, purchase, and consume our food. There is also a particularly charming song sung by our talented church choir and joined by our youth – the Chalice Choir.
Our book this week is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life. Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life—vowing that, for one year, they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
