Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice – February 22
Feb 19th, 2010 • Category: Committee News, Council for Faith in Action, Denominational Affairs, Journey Toward Wholeness, News & EventsDelegates at the 2008 General Assembly selected “Ethical Eating” to be the 2008-2012 Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. The Congregational Study/Action Issue is an invitation for congregations and districts to take a topic of concern and confront it, reflect on it, learn about it, respond to it, comment on it, take action—each in their own way. A CSAI is NOT a statement—it is a question.
How do our food choices impact our communities and our world? What does ethical eating mean to you? Join us for a viewing of excerpts from the Academy Award-nominated documentary Food, Inc. and a discussion on Monday, February 22 at 7:30pm.
And help us take advantage of the opportunity offered to congregations to submit comments regarding the Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice CSAI and the Resource Guide, prior to it being addressed at this summer’s General Assembly. The deadline to submit comments is March 1.
The text of the Ethical Eating CSAI, a study guide, and more information is available on the new UUA website at http://www.uua.org/socialjustice/issuesprocess/currentissues/ethicaleating/index.shtml.
