​#16 - Growing Disciples by Tending Creation

Saturday, 10:30 am - 12 noon
Presenters:
The Rev. Nurya Love Parish is co-founder and Executive Director of Plainsong Farm and rector of Holy Spirit Episcopal Church in Belmont. She was a member of the Episcopal Church’s Advisory Council for the Stewardship of Creation (2015-2018) and served on the legislative committee for Care of Creation at General Convention 2018. 

​Isak Davis, Andrew Johnson, and Jimmy Pickett are the pilot cohort of fellows for the Young Adult Fellowship at Plainsong Farm. Each of them is spending the summer immersed at the intersection of discipleship and the care of Creation.

Workshop Description
At Plainsong Farm, we're developing programs and processes that grow disciples and tend Creation at the same time. We're sure we aren't alone - others throughout our province are engaged in similar efforts. Come to learn more about our ministries (including the heirloom wheat program we received from Honoré Farm and Mill which now provides communion bread to multiple churches). Come and reflect on Scripture and how our journey as disciples means engaging the hard truths of climate change. Come, remember your baptism, and begin again as a servant of Christ through whom all things were made. This workshop includes a presentation about the ministries of Plainsong Farm, sharing of your own stories of care of Creation, and regional networking for mutual learning and support.
