Nottingham Diocesan Commitment to the Environment

We are all aware more and more of how interconnected God’s world is. Our local actions have a global impact. What we do now will affect the lives of people in the future.

In every Eucharist we celebrate the gifts of creation with joy and wonder. We also ask God’s forgiveness for our shortfalls and depend on grace to amend our ways. Christ has assured us of his presence with us so we can face challenges without despair.

To deal with the challenge of environmental justice requires us to make many changes. This document (which can be found on the Action Plan page of this site) offers pointers to help. It brings together varied resources because every individual and every parish is at a different stage of addressing the issues of living lighter on the earth.
