Eco Church

A Rocha UK’s Eco Church programme equips churches in England and Wales to care for creation.

Eco Church is a learning community of churches of all shapes and sizes open to all denominations. It provides a framework to support churches and its leadership to take practical action on caring for God’s earth, through the Eco Church survey. The survey covers five key areas of church life:

Worship and teaching
Buildings and energy
Land and nature
Community and global engagement
Lifestyle

A Rocha UK is a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment.

Wildlife in our Churchyards

Take time to have a wander around our beautiful Churchyards and see what flowers, birds, butterflies, insects you can spot and let us know what you find. We'd love to hear from you. Email your comments to Parish News at bweparisheditors@gmail.com
