Produced as part of Food, Faith and Earth Day 2010

This booklet highlights actions Wisconsin faith communities are taking to care for the earth. Benefiting from others' experiences, readers are inspired to develop their own programs.
“It's well to be reminded of the deep and sacred meanings of the created world, the sacred act of growing food and the sacred act of eating. When we view ourselves as mere producers and consumers of food, we become separated from the divine mystery of creation and our need as faithful people to be filled with gratitude for the bounty of the world and the life-giving qualities of the food we eat. As spiritual beings and faith communities we can do much to care for this bountiful world, attend to healthful and mindful eating and foster closer linkages between the people who produce our food and the people who consume it.” The Sacred Act of Eating - Food, Faith and Earth Day 2010
