Greening our Preaching

July 2, 10:00 am - 11:30 am

  • « Into Incumbency: Keep on Running the Race
  • Clergy Conference »

heart in green foliageAny preachers, lay or ordained, are invited to develop their preaching about environmental concerns at this training morning.

We’ll be hearing from Ruth Newton, parish priest of a Silver Eco-Church in Yorkshire. The work her church has done to care for local wildlife has been recognised with a County Wildlife Status. Ruth has an impressive background in green preaching* and is guaranteed to bring lots of interesting tips and ideas to help you inspire and motivate your congregation to care for your local patch of creation.

If you’re working on your Eco Church Award, or have considered getting started, you may know that regular Christian teaching on green issues is one of the five key areas you need to demonstrate. This is an excellent opportunity to hear from someone who’s done it well, and to chat with others at the same stage as you. If Eco Church isn’t for you, but you’re interested in topics for Creationtide or introducing this very current concern to your preaching, you will also get a lot out of the morning.

To book, please click here.
