Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Lecturer in Pastoral Ministry the Rev. Randall K. Bush, pastor of the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, submitted the winning sermon in the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance’s (EAA) Food for Life Sermon Competition.

The prize is a trip to Geneva to deliver the sermon in the Ecumenical Center at the Oct. 17 worship service for the 2011 Churches Week of Action on Food. The EAA’s Food for Life Campaign advocates for just and sustainable food production and consumption, and the realization of the right to food for all people.
