Rev. Nate Walker and the Ethical Creation of Food

Rev. Nate Walker and the Ethical Creation of Food

The Rev. Nate Walker led a joint service between the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Pottstown and the Thomas Paine Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, July 18, at Pottstown.

Rev. Nate discussed the progress that has been made since he wrote a letter in late 2009 to the multinational corporation Monsanto, asking it to enter into a dialogue around the issues of food ethics in the 21st century. Nine months later, the two sides have met several times.

Ritual

Most of us develop rituals in our lives. They are important parts of most religions and spiritual practices. They can connect us and inspire us and calm us. And that all fits somehow with our human need for the new and surprising.
