We heard this week that we have definitely been awarded a bronze award for our eco-awareness in managing the Christ Church site.

We had to complete around 100 questions in a survey about our worship, land, lifestyle, buildings and community engagement that proved we were becoming more eco-aware and were committed to this for the long term.

What does it mean?

The A Rocha scheme allows churches to assess their policies and approach to caring for God’s world. The process enables us to take a close look at how we operate the church, our grounds and other buildings. It also helps us identify new ways or working that will further improve our stewardship of God’s earth. We have our sights set on the Silver award next. If you have any ideas on how we might manaage our resources or environment then please let us know. Our Eco Champion is Phil Mansfield
