SUMMARY:A Theology of Risk in Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:“First Thursdays at the Farm” is a distinctive dinner series hosted at The Farminary\, Princeton Theological Seminary’s 21-acre farm. Featuring a unique line-up of speakers\, the intimate dinners are designed to generate meaningful conversation. No big presentations; just big ideas and delicious food in a one-of-a-kind venue. \nCOST: $120 per person. \n \nA Theology of Risk in Uncertain Times\nRev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean joins us for a candid conversation about faithful experimentation in a fragile world. Drawing on Dean’s work in social innovation and ministry and Stucky’s leadership in ecological formation\, they will explore how Christian communities discern when to act boldly\, how to cultivate courage without recklessness\, and how risk can become a site of spiritual growth. The dialogue will invite participants to consider how uncertainty itself may be fertile soil for hope. \nDinner presented by:\nChef Rachel Pennington is a Charlottesville\, VA–based chef known especially for her exceptional pie-making. Blending technical precision with a deep love of hospitality\, she brings warmth and creativity to every kitchen she enters. As a special guest visiting from Charlottesville\, Rachel is excited to share her craft\, stories\, and signature approach to food that turns simple ingredients into memorable gatherings. \nAbout the Farminary:\nThe Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology\, sustainability\, and food justice. It is designed to train students to challenge society’s 24–7 culture of productivity by following a different rhythm\, one that is governed by the seasons and Sabbath. “The project’s main goal is to form leaders by cultivating ecological and agricultural sensibilities within them like paying attention to the seasons\, understanding the interconnectedness of life and death\, and becoming comfortable with failure\,” says Nate Stucky\, director of the Farminary Project. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Community Stories\, Climate Realities
DESCRIPTION:“First Thursdays at the Farm” is a distinctive dinner series hosted at The Farminary\, Princeton Theological Seminary’s 21-acre farm. Featuring a unique line-up of speakers\, the intimate dinners are designed to generate meaningful conversation. No big presentations; just big ideas and delicious food in a one-of-a-kind venue. \nCOST: $120 per person. \n \nCommunity Stories\, Climate Realities\nDr. Allison Carruth—author of Novel Ecologies and a documentarian exploring climate change’s impact on communities—joins us for a conversation at the intersection of storytelling\, ecology\, and faith. They conversation will examine how narrative—on the page\, on film\, and on the land—shapes public understanding of climate realities and galvanizes communal response. Together\, we will consider how local stories can cultivate resilience\, moral imagination\, and collective action in a warming world. \nA special preview of excerpts from Carruth’s forthcoming documentary will take place following the dinner. \nDinner presented by:\nChef Gabby Aron began Autumn Olive Foodworks\, her small food business\, in 2016 in efforts to combine her passions for sustainable agriculture with feeding her community\, and family style hospitality. Coming from a multicultural food loving background\, the seeds for food and environmental justice\, access\, and education were planted at a young age. She has worked as a culinary and garden educator\, a micro farmer\, a CSA coordinator (to name a few)\, while building her reputation as a farm to table chef and educator. \nAbout the Farminary:\nThe Farminary is a place where theological education is integrated with small-scale regenerative agriculture to train faith leaders who are conversant in the areas of ecology\, sustainability\, and food justice.
