Eco Congregations

The Bible tells us that “the earth is the Lord’s” which surely must mean that a significant part of our worship must be aimed at looking after the created order. This is something the congregation is beginning to look at more closely with the help of eco congregation Scotland www.ecocongregation.org/scotland , a project which is a partnership between Keep Scotland Beautiful and the Society, Religion and Technology Project of the Church of Scotland. In the coming months we will be doing a church check up as an aid to identifying the church’s current environmental practice and developing priorities for action. The item will be discussed at our next Leadership Team meeting (Kirk Session), and afterwards we hope to establish a small team to help the congregation to respond to this vital issue.
