Since it came up in church last week I have decided i will start using my blog again, hopefully more frequently than in the past. I need to write regularly and since school is behind me now, why not here?
My plan is to write about my theology of food. Having a theology of food may sound strange, but I would argue it flows naturally from both scripture and our theology of humanity. Scripture is replete with references to food. Worship practices were formed around animal sacrifice and feasting, and communion is participation in a meal. For humanity, food is about community not simply nutrition. We have a love affair with food. Food evokes memories and emotion. My fondest memories are of family gatherings in Alabama where food was the tableau on which the celebration of life was set. So I have a theology of food. That theology is why I make foods for church on Sunday mornings and its why I sit and eat with friends when ever I have a chance. I believe it helps to form us physically and spiritually.
So, I invite you to read along as I post recipes and discuss my theology of food, and it would be fantastic if you joined in the conversation.
