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)
-
