Out of a conversation about collaboration last fall with folks from the Christian Reformed Office of Social Justice, a tour was born--the Eat Well Food Tour, to be exact.
Basically, throughout the summer of 2009, Rob and I will visit churches, farms, farmer's markets and other locations throughout the midwestern U.S. and Canada exploring food and faith issues. We'll conduct interviews, assist in networking around food justice and conduct workshops on food and storytelling. The workshop will explore how our food choices can represent faithful improvisation on the themes of the Christian story, including justice, abundance, love, hospitality, creativity, stewardship and more.
Check out the tour web site for more details, including a tour blog where we'll chronicle the people, places and ideas we'll encounter along the way. And watch for a stop near you!
Well done at TCC in Palos Heights last Monday, Rob and Kristin!
Sorry I didn't get time to take a closer look at the book table, but it was nice to talk with Grant on the way to the train station.
Grist magazine just posted an interview with Rob Kenner, director of Food, Inc.

Hope you can get to it and enjoy...
Looking forward to getting an email from you to the group of attendees so we can continue some of our smaller conversations...
