Environment: supporting you

Contact

Samuel Ojok is the Diocesan Environmental Engagement Officer.

You are welcome to contact Samuel via samuel.ojok@derby.anglican.org.

Take a moment to read the May issue of Green Ideas.

 

The next local Environment Network is being rescheduled. It is open to anyone in a parish with an interest.

Contact us with any environmental queries and/or if you register as an Eco church or obtain an award. It would be great to tell your story.

Send in notice of your local events, good news stories, photos and events to share on the "What's Happening" page. The national church is actively seeking Environmental case studies from this area: focus renewables / transport / schools / community activity.

If your PCC are talking about making Environmental changes, there are a number of people who are willing to support you and who will preach on environmental issues, both licensed readers and clergy.
