Working for a Greener Church

We are responsible for our impact on God's creation as a whole. CEL helps members to understand and relate these responsibilities to their faith. Members can then encourage others in their local church to think seriously about these issues.

CEL was founded in 1981 and supports Christians from all backgrounds and traditions

Current CEL developments for local churches:

  • Operation Noah (encouraging a Christian response to climate change)

  • ChurchLink (a scheme to produce a twice yearly simple environmental sheet free for churches)


  • LOAF Food Campaign:
    L ... Locally produced
    O .. Organically grown
    A ... Animal friendly
    F ... Fairly traded
