Green Lectionary Pilot - Palm Sunday Apr 07, 2022

A couple of years ago, we did an episode specifically for preachers and church leaders where we talked about the upcoming lectionary passages for Advent and tried to look at them through the lens of climate change and care for creation. It was a wonderful episode, but felt a little out of the realm of what we normally do at the food and faith podcast. Some of us had the idea to do a podcast that was devoted thinking about scripture through a green lens.

So, this is a test! I have four friends with me and we’re going to be looking at the passages for Holy week over the next three episodes and asking the questions of where is creation, where is God, and where is there a call to action for us.

My guests for the first episode are Rev. Dr. Garrett Andrew, pastor of Nipomo Community Presbyterian Church in Arroyo Grande, Ca., and Avery Lamb, co-executive director at Creation Justice ministries.

The passages we’ll be looking at are Luke 19:28-40 and Psalm 118.

Soulful Eating: A Conversation with Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter. Apr 06, 2022

As a part of the Just Kitchen series, Anna and Derrick speak with Rev. Dr. Chris Carter about black veganism, creating a food ethic, and his book "The Spirit of Soul Food: Race, Faith, and Food Justice".

Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter’s teaching, research, and activist interests are in Black, Womanist, and Environmental ethics, with a particular focus on race, food, and nonhuman animals. He is
the co-creator of Racial Resilience, an anti-racism and anti-bias program that utilizes the combined insights of contemplative practices and critical race theories. His academic publications include The Spirit of Soul Food (University of Illinois Press, December 2021), and “Blood in the Soil: The Racial, Racist, and Religious Dimensions of Environmentalism” in The
Bloomsbury Handbook on Religion and Nature (Bloomsbury, 2018).

The passion that informs all of his work evolves out of his family's struggle to loosen the chains of systematic racism – similar to bell hooks he believes that education is the practice of freedom. He believes that at its broadest level, learning should be transformational: it should transform how the student views herself, her neighbor, and her worldview. Currently he is an
Assistant Professor of Theology at the University of San Diego, a Faith in Food Fellow at Farm Forward, and lead pastor of The Loft in Westwood California.

children where he’s very involved in the community and has a passion for helping disadvantaged adolescent teens reach their true potential.

Interview with The Rev. Duncan Hilton

Food and Faith Podcast

Co-hosts Anna Woofenden, Derrick Weston, and Sam Chamelin

www.foodandfaithpodcast.org

Guest Links:https://collegevilleinstitute.org/?s=duncan+hilton

Guest Bio: In August 2020 Duncan began serving as Priest-in-Charge at St. John’s Walpole, NH. Before that he served as Priest for Discipleship and Discernment at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Brattleboro, VT. At St. Michael’s he was commissioned to raise up leaders inside and outside the church to listen and follow their call through prayer and action. Out of a small group ministry he developed there sprung initiatives around praying the Daily Office, discernment and decision-making retreats, partnering with the Community Justice Center to support people transitioning out of prison, and beginning to create a L’Arche Community in Southern Vermont (an international network of communities that help care for people with intellectual disabilities).

Before arriving in Vermont and being ordained, Duncan worked for five years as Executive Director with the Leadership Development Initiative (LDI), where he trained Episcopal parishes in team-based leadership practices in order to help them launch local mission projects. He also worked as Training Director for Life Together, the Boston-based Episcopal Service Corps program, and as a Teaching Fellow with Professor Marshall Ganz at the Harvard Kennedy School in his class, “Organizing: People, Power, Change.” Duncan’s career shifted from congregational ministry in the United Church of Christ, where he served as a minister for youth and children, to leadership and organizing through his experience in 2010 as Field Coordinator for the Promise Arizona campaign, which registered over 15,000 new voters in the state.

Duncan lives with his wife Bethany on his grandmother’s farm in southern Vermont. He enjoys leading singalongs on guitar, gardening, and playing and watching sports.

Rev. Karen Mann

Karen is a pastor in the United Church of Christ and worked for a number of years as a hospital chaplain before following her passion for food on to the farm. The first stop was as the Market Manager for a network of farms for refugees. Given that she didn’t meet any of the qualifications, she’s pretty sure she got the job by describing how much she loves turnips. She has now settled on her own farm in central Virginia, Heart & Bones Hollow, with her partner and two kids. Together they raise goats, pigs and a variety of produce for market. She is also the pastor of a new Dinner Church in her rural community and hoping to find ways to bring the farm and the faith community together.

Land, Food, and Faith Formation: A Conversation with Jade Clark and Nathan Dorris from Memphis Theological Seminary Feb 03, 2020

Land, Food, and Faith Formation: A Conversation with Jade Clark and Nathan Dorris from Memphis Theological Seminary

Memphis Theological Seminary is currently accepting applications for the Doctor of Ministry in Land, Food, and Faith Formation. This dynamic and innovative low-residency program is open to students who are passionate about the intersections of ministry with agricultural practices, food justice, care for the land, and the role of faith communities in both rural and urban settings.

Students in this program will explore the theological and ethical dimensions of land and its use, the role of food in our lives, and the ways faith communities both shape and are shaped by their relationship with land and food. This program will provide theological resources and practical models for the practice of ministry in faith communities which seek to relate more intentionally to the care of land, food, and all living creatures.

Instructors in this program--like Rev. Dr. Heber Brown, III and Nurya Love Parish--have been at the forefront of food justice and creation care.

The first two-week residency for the new cohort takes place in June 2020, and applications are currently being accepted until April 30.

Goat Cheese and a Baguette: A Conversation with Bethany Rydmark
Food and Faith Podcast with Anna Woofenden and Sam Chamelin

Bethany Rydmark is an eighth generation Oregonian, a landscape architect, a food-loving community organizer, and a forever-traveler at heart. As a home-educated daughter of a farmer and a teacher in the rural Pacific Northwest, she’s been transformed through engaging cultures beyond her bounds around the world and across her city.

She has been featured in print, video, and web by Rolling Stone, The Oregonian, Cooking Up a Story, The Huffington Post, and The Associated Press as founding co-host of Portland’s PDX Food Swap. The grass roots community organization promotes food sharing across cultures by connecting people across cities, socioeconomic lines, and streets through the moneyless exchange of homemade food. Her work in grassroots food activism continues to attract attention in the lead up to the 10th Anniversary of the PDX Food Swap in 2020, and the 5th Anniversary of the Bake America Great Again Bake Sale for Refugees in 2019.

A blogger for fifteen years, Bethany founded twoOregonians.com, earning finalist for TBU’s Best Newcomer travel blog in 2012, and her written work appears in such places as the collective Mama Said: Wit and Wisdom for New Mothers (Wild Child Travels, 2016), Meet, Plan, Go! How to Make Career-Related Connections on the Road, Sustainable Food for Thought, and The Art Cities of Emilia Romagna (citta d’arte Emilia Romagna, 2014), and her independently produced feature on the Middle East’s first microbrewery was highlighted by The Atlantic Longreads’ then-active Travelreads.

She has spoken at Wise Words and Wine with Women of Hope, and continues to engage with her international and local community through online and in person connections at global and neighborhood scales, raising funds for the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization and celebrating liberty and justice for all.

Bethany is a 2006 graduate of the University of Oregon’s school of Architecture and Allied Arts, American Society of Landscape Architects member, and licensed, practicing landscape architect and small business owner living and working in Portland, Oregon.

Bethany is married to her childhood friend, Ted, and is raising two daughters in footsteps of strength and independence to follow their curiosities and compassion into the world.
