Anabaptism, Food, and Mission

In the beginning God created. This chef of all things cooked up a
feast of earth, plants that grow fruit, and beings to enjoy and care for
this abundance. And God called these creations good. We are the
custodians of this good earth.

Every meal we eat we are connected with those who dreamed up the
recipes, nurtured the soil, picked and washed and shipped the goods, and
sold the ingredients to us in our markets and stores. From the bread we
break at the Lord’s Supper, to the potlucks we share and the cookbooks
we produce, our interaction with food connects us with our creator and
sustainer, and to individuals living around the world.

Taste and see what God is up to around the world by engaging this
latest issue of Anabaptist Witness, which includes original poetry,
calligraphy, paintings, reflections and more.
