SEPTEMBER 26, 2021
Join us this Sunday for Christian Education at 10:30 am. We welcome back New Testament scholar, farmer, and activist Sylvia Keesmaat; who discusses the theology of creation in the New Testament and the implications of faith in the farm she runs with her husband Brian Walsh. Sylvia and Brian were with us last year as we studied the Book of Romans.
Dr. Sylvia Keesmaat is a biblical scholar, farmer, permaculture practitioner and activist. She is an Adjunct Professor at Trinity College, Toronto, and is the author (with Brian Walsh) of Romans Disarmed: Resisting Empire, Demanding Justice and Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire. She speaks frequently on topics related to the Bible and justice, the climate crisis, and permaculture. Sylvia lives on an off-grid, solar-powered permaculture farm in the Kawartha Lakes with her husband, Brian Walsh, and a fluctuating number of people and animals.
Russet House Farm is an off-grid 50 acre permaculture farm, a place to explore the intersection between permaculture, resilience, and radical Christian discipleship. We welcome people to the farm for short or long stays to learn about intensive vegetable growing, food forests, rotational grazing, food and land preservation. Cows, pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, birds, and insects are at home on the farm, along with an increasing number of fruit and nut trees.
How's that? You can find out more on their website: www.russethousefarm.ca
Her new educational endeavour, Bible Remixed, has gone live online.
She is teaching a couple of courses this Fall via Zoom.
