Is your parish an Eco Church?

How can you and your church bring worship truly ‘down to earth’? The first ever Eco Church Conference takes place next moth.

Hosted with friends from the Church of England’s environmental campaign Shrinking The Footprint, this will be a special day for all churches to share and learn together about protecting nature and caring for God’s earth as an expression of discipleship and mission.
Delegates will have the opportunity to put practical questions from their churches to our experts and hear the stories of other churches working towards the Eco Church Award.

They will present seminars, surgeries and stories. The southern conference will take place on 7th October at St James’s Church, Piccadilly, London. The northern conference will be held on 21st October at St Andrew’s Psalter Lane Church, Sheffield. Each one-day event will run from 10am–4.30pm.

Eco Church is A Rocha's award scheme for churches in England and Wales who want to be good news for God’s earth. More than 600 churches have registered so far with this project, which offers a free online survey and supporting resources.

"Our vision is for churches of all denominations to care for creation as an integral part of loving their neighbours and following God faithfully," said Nigel Hopper. "This conference will help them make a start."
