Where we live and how we live there are important aspects of faith and expressions of our understandings of and connections to God. One of the ways that people of faith can learn to faithfully inhabit their places is by paying attention to farmers and the places where their food is grown and raised; however, this approach to learning inhabitance is often ignored, overlooked, or not understood within many churches.Three keys to beginning to address the challenges of faithfully inhabiting place can be found in listening to the wisdom of food producers, embracing a cosmopolitan theology that extends divine love to the more-than-human helping people of faith to more closely connect to the places where they live and practice ministry, and using and expanding the Wesleyan ways of knowing to include the natural world. This project addresses the disconnect between the Christian faith, food production, and care of places by exploring six spiritual practices of faithfully inhabiting one’s place.Format: OnlineenReligionTheologyReligious educationCosmopolitan theologySpiritual practiceWesleyan QuadrilateralText
