EcoCongregation

	EcoCongregation

		What is EcoCongregation? It is NOT one person’s ire of Styrene cups. It is NOT one person’s irritation of plastic carrier bags. It is NOT one person’s rile of harmful cleaning products. It is NOT one person’s outrage of overflowing disposal sites. It is NOT one person’s loathing of non-recycled waste. Quite simply, It is NOT just one Person!

EcoCongregation is “an ecumenical programme helping churches make the link between environmental issues and Christian faith, and respond in practical action in the church, in the lives of individuals, and in the local and global community.”
What is EcoCongregation?
EcoCongregation is one person, and another and another coming together to accept the responsibility to care for the blessings and bounty that God has created for us here on Earth. It is one church, and another and another coming together as proscribed in the Scriptures to nurture and protect the land, the sea, the sky and the creatures under God.
