A report on the “Bread in the Wilderness” food and faith conference

Each year, Wake Forest University School of Divinity’s Food, Faith, and Religious Leadership Initiative hosts a food and faith intensive in western North Carolina. Here, amidst holy ground, faith leaders gather for 5-days to participate in God’s active renewal of the face of the earth and explore the ways they are called to join God in that good work.

The guiding question:

How can we think and act holistically about our interrelated challenges – ecological degradation, social inequity, and climate change – all of which find their focus around food?
