Hamline Garden Reading Group
1. How do we appreciate food (and community, and environment), and how do we show our appreciation in ways that help us share what we value in food -- and that help us explore how we can live up to foods' value?
2. What stories about food provisioning and sharing -- especially from the city -- do we hear that people want to share? Do we have a role in helping with that sharing? What does that look like, and who do we work with?
We have shared a number of readings this summer, below. The Gardening as Spiritual Practice interns through the Wesley Center have also shared some of their readings, including: Diana Butler Bass' chapter one "Dirt" in "Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution" (New York, N.Y.: HarperCollins, 2015).
