Climate Change and Environment

Our Diocesan Eco Church Champion Margaret Ainger explores the Creationtide theme “to hope and act with Creation.” How do we do this in our churches?

Our series of blogs for Creationtide continues with a reflection on the environment and Discipleship. Peter Rainford, Focal Minister and Member of the Diocesan Environment Working Group, reflects on how care for God’s earth is woven into our journey following Christ.

St Mary’s CE Academy Walkley has been chosen as a finalist for a Church Times Green Church award.

Lights for Christ Enabler Chrissy Moorey looks ahead to Creationtide, which runs from today to 4th October.

Our Net Zero Project Officer David Castle attended the event in Gloucester last week.

The role will help registered Eco Churches across the Diocese

The Diocese is working with local company Cheribim on this new project, with grant funding from Innovate UK.

It follows hard work over the last 3 years towards gaining an A Rocha Eco Diocese award.

Churches taking part in the Eco Church Celebration on Saturday 9 September are offering words of encouragement ahead of the event.

It follows a successful assessment by A Rocha.
