Our new web page, Earth Day 2010, is all about Ethical Eating and Food Justice --- a lot of great new information gathered here for you to explore and use.
Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice, our Association’s current Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI), was adopted at the 2008 General Assembly in Ft. Lauderdale. The CSAI Core Team, led by Rev. John Gibb Millspaugh, published a comprehensive Resource Guide and a Worship Resources Supplement for congregations to use in exploring the hidden ways our food choices impact our communities and our world.
As stated in the Guide, “Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice is personal in nature – involving our free choices of what we put in our own bodies – and global in reach – with implications for ecosystems, human hunger, social inequity, animal welfare, and climate change.” The Ethical Eating CSAI is an invitation for congregations and districts to take this topic and confront it, reflect on it, learn about it, respond to it, comment on it, and take action—each in their own way.
