Eating Together Faithfully: Education for Christian Foodways

Catalog description

This course in Christian education for faith formation offers pastors, teachers and other Christian community leaders the opportunity to imagine, practice and reflect upon meal sharing as a focal point of communal life. Utilizing Rev. Grace Hackney's innovative curricular framework, Eating Together Faithfully, students will participate in reflective conversations about food justice while sharing simple meals together around a table. Along the way they will acquire crucial skills for shaping hospitable learning communities, asking good questions, and leading reflective, honest, and open conversations. Students will also consider the potential for close (even organic) relationships between education for faith formation and other central practices of worship and mission.
