World Food Day Begins with Seed Sovereignty (Presbyterian Church USA)
Approaching World Food Day, we explain fundamental barriers to serving up the right to food with a special focus on a critical ingredient – seeds. Presenters explain the role of seeds in more democratic, equitable, and sustainable local and global food and farm systems. Seeds bring the cultural aspects of agriculture, and the freedom to save and maintain control over seeds is foundational to food sovereignty. Farmers know this, and multinational corporations do as well. While the power of corporations is concentrated and focussed, farmers are naturally dispersed and challenged to unite their voices and influence. Hear how farmers and allies are succeeding in changing the landscape, and how we can support these efforts locally, nationally and globally.

Preaching Through Advent
Issues of entitlement spring fresh in December. Depression slips over the landscape like North Atlantic fog. In the midst of this, the ecstatic expressions of Zechariah, Mary and Elizabeth – not to mention an angel – shake the boots off us and send us running for cover. How do we make these stories matter for people who take time to show up at church? What’s the difference between preaching and just words? How do we use poetry as a tool for change? Let’s come to the Christmas Eve feast nourished by a wholesome breakfast.
