The Land

Between 60 and 80 percent of prairie grasses grow below ground. Some grasses, like big bluesterm, have fibrous roots that reach as deep as 12 feet into the earth!

Before the pandemic hit, we were looking at about 13.7 million households in the US being food insecure. After the pandemic hit, we're looking at 35 million households that can't either meet their needs on a daily basis, or they're uncertain of how to fill their plates. - Amyrose Foll

Pastoral Vision of Inclusivity
originally published on December 10. 2020
People often ask me what my long-term vision is for The Land. This answer would be easier if I had the goal of building a brick building or launching a large working farm. The vision I hold is more subtle but, I would argue, more powerful and more promising...

I envision a thriving outdoor community of faith that offers multiple ways of introducing people to the Christ present through Creation. A labyrinth, a canopy sanctuary, a prayer pathway, a garden. Not one overshadowing the other. Each a humble comfort for the spiritual seeker to become curious about the beauty of creation and their place within creation.

I envision nonanxious people who have grown to love the peace of the prairie as much as they have grown to love the people who have settled into the prairie with them. A people embracing their place in an inter-species congregation. Showing reverent hospitality to the prairie dogs, the antelope, the rattlesnake, and the burrowing owls.

I envision an appreciation for what is and a deep desire to learn from that present reality. A culture that continually redefines development, progress, and sustainability in creative ways that honor the prairie's many purposes and fragile resources.

I envision a contagious invitational habit rising from this love of open spaces and unanswered questions. A reaction to the relentless confidence in the prairie's innate skill to absorb the ego and thus liberate the spirit.

In a culture where the fad remains to race into the future, I envision a community cultivating the dedication and discipline required to dive into the possibility of the present. A community in love with listening, with learning, with being surprised by a God who speaks through the tall grasses, the mullen, and even, perhaps, those pointy, prickly thistles.
