Food & Faith: Justice, Joy, and Daily Bread, edited and complied by Michael Schut, produced by Earth Ministry, and published by Living the Good News Press (2002). This book/curriculum focuses on the enjoyment of food, on our food choices as a dimension of Christian spirituality, on the ways in which eating connects us to the land and to each other, and on the responsibilities of eating as they relate to the economic, environmental, and cultural implications of our daily food choices. It will encourage movement from passive consumerism to mindful participation in all the systems involved in bringing food from farmer to table. The book includes an extensive resource guide on where to shop (both locally and nationally) for more earth-friendly food and provides ideas on how to support local, sustainable agriculture. In addition, it includes a eight-session curricular group learning experience that guides participants through the following: Developing Community Food as Sacrament Cogs in the Industrial Food Economy Global Markets to Backyard Gardens Life is a Journey: Don't Forget to Eat.
