As Christ's disciples, we share a welcome duty of stewardship towards God's Creation, expressed in the fifth Mark of Mission agreed by the Anglican Consultative Council:
“To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.”
We believe that:
- Our relationship with the natural environment is integral to our relationship with God
- Good ecology is a matter of social justice and so is central to what it means to be a Christian
- Care for the environment should be a key component of Christian living individually, as churches and as a diocese
Our Environmental Policy expresses our commitment to live out these principles, in:
- Our worship and teaching
- Our activities, land and buildings
- Our strategy and planning
- Our engagement with local communities, government and businesses
