Summoned Toward Wholeness: A Conference on Food, Farming, and the Life of Faith, September 27 and 28 at Duke Divinity School and Anathoth Community Garden.
Scripture portrays God as a gardener, farmer, and shepherd. It describes Jesus as “the bread of life” who invites people to the Lord’s table so they can learn to feed his sheep. It is hard to read the Bible and not see that God cares deeply about food and agriculture.
Join plenary speakers Ellen F. Davis, Joel Salatin, Scott Cairns, and Norman Wirzba and 12 workshop leaders, as they explore multiple connections between food, farming, and the life of faith.
This event is hosted by Duke Divinity School, Wake Forest University School of Divinity, Blessed Earth, and Anathoth Community Garden. Scholarships are available for seminary students and Rural UMC pastors. For scholarship information, contact Fred Bahnson at bahnsoff@wfu.edu. Learn more and register at divinity.duke.edu/summoned.
