If you are interested in stretching your mind, boy, are you in for a treat...
Wendell Berry is coming to Nashville! Philosopher, poet, activist and farmer are just a handful of the descriptors used for the accomplished Berry. His thought-provoking writings continue to challenge and engage his readers. Coverage through The Tennessean and Nashville Scene highlight the extreme honor of having Berry's presence at Siloam Family Health Center's fundraiser event, as he rarely travels outside his Kentucky farm for public engagements.
He and friend Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity theology professor, will discuss "What Makes a Health Community?" on Friday, May 2nd at 7 pm at Montgomery Bell Academy. Tickets are $75-$100 and proceeds from this event help fund the continued work of Siloam, a faith-based clinic for Nashville's uninsured.
On Saturday morning at 8:30 am, Berry and Wirzba will dig into "Food and Faith: A Matter of Health and Wholeness" at St. George's. This discussion will be free to the public.
“Agriculture must mediate between nature and the human community, with ties and obligations in both directions.”
