We believe that caring for God’s Creation is an integral part of our Christian Faith.
From the creation story in Genesis, to Jesus’ command to ‘love our neighbours as ourselves’ we recognise that we have a biblical mandate to live sustainably and allow other people to do so too. In this time of climate emergency we are all responsible for treading more lightly on Earth, refusing excess, reducing waste, repairing re-using and recycling everything we can.
What is Eco Church?
Eco Church, a scheme run by A Rocha, helps us reduce CO2 as well as supporting us to manage our building sustainably, use our land for biodiversity, teach and preach creation care, and live personal lives that tread lightly on the Earth.
What is the Church of England doing?
The Church of England has made a commitment to Carbon net Zero (CNZ) by 2030.
This means all churches are aiming to cut carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels.
