SUMMARY:“Food\, Inc. 2” Screening
DESCRIPTION:Register today to join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday\, September 10\, 2024\, at 6:30 pm Central via Zoom\, for a free screening of the film “Food\, Inc. 2.”  \n\n\n\nAs the name suggests\, Magnolia Pictures’ Food\, Inc. 2\, is the 2024 sequel to the 2008 Oscar®-nominated film (and one of our former FFE Eco-Series documentaries) Food\, Inc. According to www.rocofilms.com\, the original groundbreaking documentary ignited a conversation about the multinational corporations that control food systems at enormous cost to our planet\, workforce\, and health.  \n\n\n\nFood\, Inc. 2 comes “back for seconds” to reveal how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government. An efficient\, yet shockingly vulnerable food system now exists\, dedicated only to increasing profits. This consolidated power leads to exploited laborers\, a degraded environment\, less healthy food\, and a dysfunctionaly supply chain. According to the film’s participant site\, a handfull of companies control almost every category of food and exert their power over our government\, the workforce and the consumer: \n\n\n\n\n85% of beef processing is controlled by 4 companies\n\n\n\n83% of cold cereal industry is dominated by 3 companies\n\n\n\n70% of the carbonated soft drink market is controlled by 2 companies\n\n\n\n80% of the baby formula market is controlled by 2 companies \n\n\n\n\nSeeking solutions\, the film introduces innovative farmers\, food producers\, workers’ rights activists\, and prominent legislators such as U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester\, who are facing these companies head-on and fighting to create a more sustainable future. \n\n\n\nRegistration

SUMMARY:Peaceful Energy for Renewing the Earth (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In this talk via Zoom and in person at select locations\, Dr. Erin Lothes will highlight the critical importance for transitioning rapidly to renewable\, peaceful energy and explore energy justice. She will provide a theological framework for caring for our common home\, Earth\, with insights and resources from Laudato Si’ and other aspects of the Christian tradition. Dr. Lothes will share practical ways to engage communities in this great work as they call for change.  \n\n\n\nErin Lothes\, PhD\, is a Catholic theologian and author of Inspired Sustainability: Planting Seeds for Action (Orbis\, 2016) and The Paradox of Christian Sacrifice: The Loss of Self\, The Gift of Self (Herder and Herder\, 2007)\, as well as many articles on faith-based environmentalism\, divestment and energy ethics.

Most recently\, she has written a commentary to introduce the Orbis Books paper publication of Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum.  \n\n\n\nThis is a program of the Tri-State Network\, a coalition of congregations of women religious in Illinois\, Iowa and Wisconsin who focus on peace\, justice and spirituality. It will be offered virtually over Zoom\, with in-person gatherings to watch and discuss together at Benet House Retreat Center (Rock Island\, Illinois) and Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center (Hiawatha\, Iowa).

SUMMARY:Ecological Spirituality: New Horizons for the 21st Century Retreat at Prairiewoods (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:9 am. – 1 p.m. each day. Come spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland. Spend the afternoon and evenings in reflection at Prairiewoods or in your own home.  \n\n\n\nMost of us are not aware of the fact that we live within the context of a world-view (a way of being in the world and understanding it). Thanks to new scientific insights of the 20th century\, our sense of the world has expanded enormously.  \n\n\n\nFor over 50 years now\, we have been inspired by geologian Thomas Berry and others on the pioneering work of the New Universe Story. How to ground that vision—ecologically and spiritually—remains a formidable challenge\, the aspects of which will be explored in this retreat/workshop.  \n\n\n\nCome spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland.
