Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From Rev’d Richard Coles, cleric and broadcaster:

Rather surprised and a little disappointed by Jeremy Clarkson’s dogged refusal on this show yesterday to propose me as his natural successor presenting motoring programmes on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ, I have decided to turn my hand to cookery programmes instead.

Ìý

I made my first one last week – don’t worry, Raymond and April, you needn’t hang up your hats just yet, mine was not for broadcast and our celebrity chef was the Archbishop of Canterbury whose bold culinary innovation was a duo of honey and tuna omelettes (Gregg Wallace face). And our programme was not about fine dining, but fair dining.

Ìý

The church in that part of Kent supports a local charity which gets chefs to train young unemployed people in the basics of healthy cooking, using ingredients sourced only from foodbanks. They demonstrated their skills on stage, and as they cooked they were joined by the local bishop, who in his role brings together food producers, in the garden of England, with labour providers and wholesalers, and takes their conversation about profit margins and the power of supermarkets to the centre, where the retailers and the government can also join in. And then we were joined on stage by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who neatly flipped a foodbank frittata, while speaking about his role internationally, using the Anglican network around the world to draw into that conversation food producers in the developing nations of Africa and elsewhere. We were joined then by the Archbishop of the Indian Ocean, who could tell us how growers in Madagascar through accessing western markets could create sustainable development with an eye to reducing the carbon cost to everyone, a cost which threatens not only the poor, scraping a living in the dry soil of Africa, but everyone else too.

Ìý

It’s not quite the multiplication of loaves and fishes with which our founder fed the hungry multitudes. But it is an effort to multiply a commitment to change, to sharing the fruits of creation more fairly, to see everyone, wherever they are, whoever they are, as a guest at the same table. Bon appetit!
