Focus
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.
Our host, Englewood Christian Church, maintains a strong belief that conversation has an essential role in the life of the Church. They are excited about the
opportunity to offer a space in which dialogue can unfold. It is our hope that interactive conversation -- the telling of stories, active listening, asking questions, etc -- will be
a major part of our conference experience.
