Englewood Christian Church has invited Fred Bahnson, Martin Price, and Ragan Sutterfield--speakers with rich experiences in sustainable agriculture--to lead a conversation reflecting on this question and related ones about church, place, food, community and agriculture, and we invite you to join us on October 29 and 30 for A Rooted People: Church, Place, and Agriculture in an Urban World.
