Novel TheologyEcology of a Cracker Childhood, by Janisse RayJanisse Ray grew up ina junkyard along U.S.Highway 1, hiddenfrom Florida-bound

vacationers by the hedge at the edge of the road and by hulks of old cars and stacks of blown-out tires. Ecology of a Cracker Childhood tells how a childhood spent in rural isolation and steeped in religious fundamentalismgrew into a passion to save the almostvanished longleaf pine ecosystem thatonce covered the South. In language at once colloquial, elegiac, and inform-ative, Ray redeems two Souths.

Food For The Soul: The Culture of Agriculture. The Earth Stewards are pleased to sponsor a second SundayAdult Christian Formation class on food and faith, whichstarted on February 26 and ending on March25 (in Ellis Hall). Building on the interest inthe previous class, Food for the Soul: TheSpirituality and Pleasure of Intentional Eating infall 2009, this class will focus on Food for theSoul: The Culture of Agriculture. Taught againby Martha McMillin (right) and featuringguest speakers, the class will explore current food issues andis based on the foundation of an agrarian reading of the Bible.

Using a theological lens, we will consider the gift, science,art, and business of cultivating the soil, growing crops andraising livestock. We will till a rich soil of topics to learnabout the Farm Bill and other legislation affecting food,eaters, and farms; hear the stories of small, family farmers;consider food as a social justice issue; and discuss urban agriculture efforts in Atlanta. Guest speakers include farmersLaurie and Will Moore of Moore Farms and Friends, who

provide the flexibleCommunitySupported Agriculture(CSA) program thatis an option for pickup every Wednesdayafternoon at AllSaints’; Rashid Nuri,the farmer leadingTruly Living Well

Center for Natural Urban Agriculture, a 501(c)3 which is a unique farm campus in downtown Atlanta that works to engage the community in developing local food systemsthrough education and food production; and Krista ShowalterEhst, a farmer who is a student at Candler School of Theology.Jennifer Owens, Advocacy Director at Georgia Organics willspeak about pending state legislation (to increase the tax onfood) and federal legislation (in particular, the Farm Bill, an enormously important but not widely understood piece

Earth Stewardsof legislation that affects not only agribusiness farms by wayof agricultural subsidies but also through SNAP, formerlyknown as the food stamp program, for low income families).

While not a class text, those who want to study in advancemay read Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An AgrarianReading of the Bible by Professor Ellen F. Davis of the DukeDivinity School. In addition to supplying good bits of infor-mation, good bites of tasty treats will be offered at each class.

However, totaldollar amount of pledges is flat, with theaverage pledge being slightly down.
