What Does Eco-Church Mean?
St Mary’s, Norwood Green
Aiming to be an Eco-Church
Turning our church “green”
Making Norwood Green “greener"
As we seek to love God, His Creation –and everything in it.
“The earth is the Lord’s- and everything in it”: Psalm 24
The vision of churches –individually and collectively- to steward the earth, the community and our resources more ethically, responsibly and justly and, wherever possible, by reducing longer-lasting damage and harm to our planet. This vision affirms that: * God created the world and everything in it; * We are entrusted His good gifts to enjoy, preserve and share responsibly for every generation; *God created all equally and we are called to share justly and for the good of everyone; *The church should lead by example in creation care as a sign that God is active, living and the loving Provider in His world; * The earth is to be a full taste of His glory. |
