Food and Faith: A Spiritual Bond

This CBS News special examines the importance of food in three areas of religious life: building and strengthening the religious community; honoring the notion of God’s earth and its abundance; and as a way of reaching out to others. The Reverend Daniel Sack, author of Whitebread Protestants: Food and Religion in American Culture, gives an overview of food as a tool in Protestant community building, from potluck suppers and feeding the homeless, to the meal central to the Christian faith, the Last Supper.

Produced by CBS NEWS. (28 minutes)
