Working on a full-tuition scholarship to seminary that's due Friday, and finding that I still work best under pressure, unfortunately. And my writing skills have sadly slowed down A LOT since college. Taking a break now. Here's an excerpt from my 10 page essay on the very broad prompt they gave: "The Church."
"Much of Mennonite theology is expressed
in how we cook, evidenced by Mennonites’ commitment to simplicity, using resources
wisely, sharing with others, and remembering those without food. A Catholic friend
of mine recently told me (tongue-in-cheek, I believe) that she was on the verge
of converting to the Mennonite faith because of the More with Less cookbook! She loved the connections the cookbook
made between our cooking and our care for the hungry in the rest of the world. Mennonites know that how we eat says a lot about who we are as the body
politic."
