It's hard to believe that in just two weeks, Rob and I will be hitting the road for the first leg of the Eat Well Food Tour! There's so much to do before then, but we can't wait to start driving, talking, teaching and networking around food and faith at churches throughout the midwestern U.S. and southern Ontario.
The idea for the tour was born over coffee with Kate and Meghan from the Christian Reformed Church Office of Social Justice last October. We liked the confluence of mission and ideas between OSJ and *culture is not optional and wanted to partner on a creative project that would help families and congregations develop daily practices for social justice. Given our interest in food issues and the burgeoning local food movement, we thought a food tour would be just the thing. So throughout the summer of 2009, we'll be traveling and exploring, while detailing our adventures on this tour blog.
Please consider this your official invitation to participate, either in person at one of our stops or virtually by following the blog. Explore the tour web site for more details. The schedule will be updated as dates, times and locations are confirmed.
We look forward to seeing how the conversations generated about food and faith will help shape faithful eating and food production in the congregations we visit and beyond!
