I was thrilled to take Earlham School of Religion students to Korea for a class on Contextual Theology. Before I left for Korea, I had one anxiety. I was worried whether the students will be able to eat Korean food or not. But the first day we arrived, all that anxiety disappeared as the the students were appreciating Korean food and were eager to try different dishes. This was a huge relief for me as two weeks is a long time to not enjoy or be satisfied with different foods while visiting a foreign country.
I love this, Grace, and it's a good reminder of how far we've gotten away from preserving the value of shared meals. My family is pulled in so many directions that my kids eat at different times than my wife and me. At my parish, if there's food there's a huge turnout; that's something that hasn't been lost here. I have so many warm memories of huge, lengthy meals - this is a nudge to try and get back to them.
Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it so much. People say, 'if no food, we could meet over zoom'! I hope more of us can practice hospitality through food.
