Fishes and Loaves: The covenant between land and sea
MCC has developed a new educational program on the changing realities of ocean ecology and local fisheries.

This 4-part series of videos, personal and biblical reflection, emerging science, and local Maine stories invites congregations to consider how our lifestyle on land impacts the sea, the creatures who live in it, and our neighbors who make their living from it.


Contact the MCC office for more details and to arrange to use this program in your church. 

Featuring:
  • A Sea Change: imagine a world without fish. This film follows Sven Huseby as he travels around the world to find out what is happening in the oceans in order to explain it to his grandson Elias.
  • Fishing Voices. Produced for Penobscot East Resource Center, the film provides insight into fishermen’s knowledge, their values for the waters they fish and the communities they live in through interviews with several Downeast fishermen.
  • A Leap of Faith: how one Maine church turned shrimp into a big idea. Members of the First Universalist Church of Rockland share their experience of starting the first Community Supported Fishery project in Maine with fishing partners in Port Clyde.
