Food + Faith
Class objective: To learn about the intersection of food and faith with a focus on our food system here in Nashville.
βAt the center of the Christian tradition sits a table. It was around tables that Jesus taught, loved, shared with, and challenged the disciples. At mealtimes, Jesus and the disciples shared a beloved community, a community that understood sharing, hospitality, and attention to material needs to be at the heart of their life together. Even now, when the beloved community gathers around the table, we affirm that there we receive substance, we build relationships, and hear a challenge to seek flourishing in the world.β - Jennifer Ayers
