Visit the Communio Garden of the LWF

And here's another great idea from the LWF Assembly website the communio garden you can find out who's tweeting about #lwf2010, watch some videos, read blogs from around the world. It's a fun idea. I like that it's called a garden, like the Luthergarten that is being planted in Wittenberg in preparation for 2017 and the 500th anniversary of the reformation. Find out how you can plant a tree in the Luthergarten in Wittenberg and also where you are here. In the meantime why not plant a blog post about Daily Bread, or plant a tweet, or plant a video. The Assembly isn't just for people who can be in Stuttgart it's for those who can just drop in and visit the garden now and again. So help the garden bloom - plant some words and see them grow!

It's about daily bread and it's in Stuttgart

The Lutheran World Federation is holding its assembly in Stuttgart at the moment. The theme is the verse from the Lord's Prayer "Give us this Day our Daily Bread". It's a good theme in an age of fear about food security, with the continuing scandal of so many millions going hungry every day.
The great website, run by the wonderful Terri Miller - who is also a fabulous vegetarian and vegan cook - looks really great and you can find links to some great Bible studies and reflections not only on poverty but also on whether some of us are too wealthy.
