Caring for the Environment
The Diocese of Norwich is Committed to Growth -
which includes a commitment to “safeguard the integrity
of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth”.
Read our Diocesan Environmental Policy or measure your Carbon Footprint. Additional resources will be added to this section over time to help both individuals and churches.
Questions
Some questions for reflection and discussion:
How are we saving energy and recycling waste?
Have we thought of working to become an ‘ecocongregation’?
How can we overcome the sense
that this is all too much to take in and too much to
do anything about?
Can we help each other face up to the new
questions climate change is facing us with?
What is our church doing to support sustainable
development in less advantaged parts of the world?
What effect will climate change have on Norfolk
and Waveney - and on our own grandchildren?
