Heartland Farms near Great Bend, Kansas is operated by the Dominican Sisters of Peace.
The sisters at Heartland Farms mark just one of several religious communities in Kansas turning their attention to a modern crisis climate change. Motivated by their religious beliefs, they make a faith-based case for environmentalism.
GREAT BEND, Kansas The Dominican Sisters of Peace have been farming with their faith in mind for more than three decades.
In the middle of a state where large-scale commodity and livestock farming has transformed the landscape, the order of nuns aim for a lighter touch on the land.
“If you don’t have a life-sustaining planet, you don’t have life,” said Sister Jane Belanger, who’s lived on the farm for about 13 years. “And if I could quote scripture, ‘I came to bring life and bring it more abundantly.’”

It is a post-pandemic love story: A few weeks ago, Loaves & Fishes bingo lifted its mask mandate, prompting more bingo players from all over Maine to return to the community they know and love.
After closing March 13, 2020, the location reopened for two weeks after Oct. 17, 2020, but then closed again because the allowed capacity was too small, it was losing money and, again, because in early April, one of the bingo volunteers came down with the COVID-19.
The location reopened April 30 and has been operating since then. About three weeks ago, the state lifted the mask mandate.
