Questions for the Week:

• Can food, whether it be cooking or eating, be a spiritual experience?
• Every time the Olympic Games roll around, there is discussion about how expensive it is to host the Olympics and the toll it takes on the hosting city and country. Is it worth it? When does something become too costly to be worth the pride of hosting such an event? Further, have you seen faith communities have similar discussions about their own events and how to manage the cost?

Special Guest:
Rev. Shelvis Smith-Mather, Mission Co-worker, South Sudan

Guest Question:
How can we as Christians work for peace in communities we are not a part of? How do we walk the delicate line between trying to support peace and reconciliation amongst communities we are not from or that we are not directly connected with, but without imposing our own ideas and values on their peace process?
