Earlier this month, as part of Creationtide, people from around the diocese came together at All Saints Church in Loughborough for the second Eco Church Conversations event.
This Season of Creation, pledge to make the Great Switch for Creation and take a small but impactful step towards our net zero carbon mission. Switching to a green energy tariff is a small but powerful step your church can take to reduce your environmental impact.
Creationtide is a month of unity, when Christians around the world celebrate the beauty and wonder of creation and commit to caring for our common home.
On a busy road leading into Loughborough, the gardens at Emmauel have long been admired by the church and community. Those travelling past often comment on the year-round bright and beautiful flower beds, with roses, hydrangeas, and helichrysum to name but a few currently in bloom.
Has your church filled in the Energy Footprint Tool (EFT) yet? Preserving our precious gift of creation is something we should be thinking about and acting upon every day as Christians. One of the ways churches can tackle climate change is through reducing the carbon released from their buildings into the atmosphere.
St Mary in Charnwood Church, Nanpantan, has been awarded the Gold Eco Church Award by A Rocha, in recognition of its exceptional work in caring for God’s creation across all aspects of church life.
A Rocha has launched its new Eco Church survey and is appealing to churches and worshipping communities to take meaningful action for climate and nature.
The Church of England’s Energy Footprint Tool (EFT) is now open for all churches in the diocese to enter fuel and power use from 2024.
The results of the latest Bishops’ Children and Youth Council listening report are in with 227 young people from primary and secondary schools and church groups around the diocese offering their thoughts and feelings on the subject of Climate Change.
On Saturday 14 September, more than 50 people from across the diocese came together to hold ecumenical conversations about Eco Church.
