In the run up to Easter, Christian Ecology Link (CEL) is asking supporters to think and act on food sourcing in their local church and further afield.

CEL have launched a new colour leaflet on the LOAF programme principles in preparation for Easter.

The key LOAF principles are that food should where possible be
L- Locally produced,
O- Organically grown,
A- Animal friendly,
F- Fairly traded

There is an action letter that can be downloaded from the website, urging church leaders to adopt the LOAF principles at community facilities : http://www.christian-ecology.org.uk/loaf-letter.doc

We hope that our members and friends will take the opportunity to join in sending a letter to their church leaders asking that their community LOAF during Lent, and then carry on LOAFing throughout the following year.

Green Christians are being encouraged to order free copies of the new LOAF leaflet to distribute during Fair Trade Fortnight, which runs from 27th February to 11th March 2012, by sending an e-mail to :
