Latest Festival Flyer update from Greenbelt

[ad_1]
We’re always looking for ways to make our annual gathering more sustainable. One of the main ways we can do that is through the food and drink choices we offer at the festival.

We’ve pondered long and hard about whether we should go meat-free or even vegan this year, to mark our 50th. But we’re not just any festival. We’re Greenbelt. And we want to live our values so we’ve made a braver call, asking ourselves: ‘What Would Jesus Eat?’

That’s why this year at the festival all our caterers will only be offering food and drink that the gospel accounts indicate Jesus ate – and, having held a three-month theological consultation, we’re able to declare that that’s basically bread, wine, fish, figs and olives.

We’re really excited about the difference that our ‘Choose Loaf’ initiative will make to our environmental impact and also to how truly committed we are to an authentically biblical outworking of our faith.

It’s going to be a whole heap of fun. And we’re pretty sure it’s what Jesus would have wanted.

  1. I’m allergic to fish and hate olives, but hey, I have to lose weight anyhow. Welcome to the Greenbelt Diet plan! We’ve just put forty days of fasting in the wild back a bit in the liturgical year 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

    Great “idea”, folks!

    🐟🐟🐟🐟 as the French would say.

  2. Brilliant! Love it…

  3. 😂😂😂 genius ♥️

  4. April 1st got anything to do with this?

  5. Brilliant 😆 👏🏻

    Well played Greenbelt, well played 😂😂😂

  7. Dave Broom says:

    But Jesus didn’t eat olives! He didn’t get the opportunity as it was the wrong season. He cursed the tree and killed it! 😮

  8. Well yes April Fools, but is it? Investment in a full field kitchen it is then! Good thing I have friends who bring a chiller truck to GB every year!

  9. Lol…totally believed you till I came to the comments 🙄🤣👏👏👏❤

  10. Adriel Yap says:

    You forgot lamb.

  11. I think you’ll find there is a lot of archeological evidence that Jesus ate mainly quiche.

  12. Adrian Higgs says:

    Superb. Best one yet!

  13. Yea, and I’ve launched the Verger Liberation Front today. We will display our wires where we want!

  14. Happy Feast of All Fools!
    Mines a grilled fish

  15. Sounds a bit religious. Colossians 2:16-17
    Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

  16. I hope with that amount of figs going around then we also have extra compostable toilets for everyone

  17. Hahahaha GB love it 💖

  18. Mim Rose says:

    # chooseloaf 🤣👏

  19. I am 99% sure that Jesus ate crepes, so it’s all good!

  20. Isla Norwood says:

    Good one, Greenbelt 🤣

  21. Colin Weedon says:

    Oh well done Greenbelt ….. best one I’ve seen so far

  22. Good one that…..but my understanding, in the light of a progressive theological discourse, is that Jesus hailed from Goa and ate fish curries!!!

  23. Mike Doragh says:

    Curry and Nasn sound pretty kosher to me… can you run that past the team of theologians please.

  24. If he was a shepherd, shouldn’t lamb be on the menu?

  25. Dave Moreton says:

    You had me. 😆 🤣 😂.

  26. Sam Lawton says:

    Glad this is an April fools
