Items related to Harvesting Abundance: Local Initiatives of Food and...
Many congregations, schools, and organizations are reaching out into their neighborhoods to share Gods story of abundance by establishing community gardens, beehive colonies, and other agricultural initiatives. They are creatively using their land and property; providing training, inspiration, and cross-cultural experiences for all ages; while at the same time feeding the hungry and building community relationships. Too often food banks only take non-perishables loaded with preservatives and sodium. Church entities involved in agricultural ministries are able to provide healthy food from their gardens to feeding programs, food pantries, and others in need. This book tells the tale of 25 such communities in story and image. An inspiration for others to develop such projects, food and faith can go hand-in-hand as we get our hands dirty while learning more about what Genesis 2 describes as God planted a garden. Gardening can be seen on the rooftop of a church in the city, beehives in the midst of a seminary, or a local community garden alongside the churchs parking lot. Discover where this movement is alive and growing, and find ideas for starting your own food and faith initiative in your own backyard, roof, or front porch.

Review:
Here is a book of concrete hope-stories of dirt you can dig your toes into, harvests you can eat, communities you can join. If you need good news (and we all do) then follow Brian Sellers-Petersen into the church yards and once empty lots, seminary campuses and charitable farms where new life is springing up in abundance. --Ragan Sutterfield, author of Wendell Berry and the Given Life
Brian brings over 30 years of experience, faithfulness, and insights to this inspiring exploration of how we, as Christians and as The Episcopal Church, are called to use God's abundance. He connects the global to the local and the spiritual to the temporal with his lively wit and characteristic warmth. --Robert W. Radtke, President, Episcopal Relief & Development
Harvesting Abundance contains great gifts for the church. Brian Sellers-Petersen has compiled information previously unavailable anywhere: stories and images from many Episcopal agrarian ministries spanning desert, country, and city. He has provided inspiration to people and parishes who are curious yet cautious. By sharing stories of these vibrant ministries, he has also shown us a path of innovation, connecting altar to dinner table and the stories of Scripture to our own stories today. The church needs information, inspiration, and innovation true to our witness for Christ. Harvesting Abundance delivers all three, abundantly. --Nurya Love Parish, co-founder and Executive Director of Plainsong Farm & Ministry
