Whitechurch Parish Environmental Policy
We recognize our responsibility as Christians in this community of faith…
• To accept that concern for the environment is a responsibility that is inherent in our understanding of our faith.
• To act responsibly as Christians in our care of the environment, acknowledging the interdependence of all the created order.
• To seek to minimize the negative impact of our activities on the environment, working with statutory and community bodies where appropriate in so doing.
• To seek specifically to:-
– Monitor and minimize energy usage, and maximize recycling and the reduction of waste.
– Seek to incorporate and integrate a full understanding of our theology of
creation and incarnation into our worship and other church activities.
-Inform and educate our people on this policy, and encourage a similar
approach by our members individually.
