All our churches have achieved a bronze ‘eco church’ award, through A Rocha UK. We are now on the journey towards Silver!

It was Saint Francis, among others, who took the idea of loving one’s neighbour to mean loving all God’s creatures. Chesterton wrote of the magnificent saint, ‘Francis was a man who did not want to see the wood for the trees. He wanted to see each tree as a separate and almost a sacred thing, being a child of God and therefore a brother or sister.’ Every created thing was, at the very least, a neighbour to be loved.

Caring for creation is an ancient Christian principal. In fact, it goes right back to the beginning, with God declaring that all he had made was ‘very good’ (Genesis 1:31), and giving the responsibility of its tending and nurture to humankind.

Here in Seven Towers, our Christian faith inspires us to believe that God so loved the world (in Greek, the kosmos) that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, to save it (John 3:16), and that through the life, death and resurrection of Christ, God was reconciling the whole world back to himself (Colossians 1:20). This compels us to find ways of living that seek harmony and blessing to the natural world.

Today, with ecosystems, biodiversity and climate in crisis, we need people of hope who are willing to celebrate and care for creation. We are encouraged by many good projects around the world doing exactly that, and we are trying to do our bit in our local area too.

 

 

 

Every year we host a festival called ‘tracks’, using the arts to raise awareness of creation care and action.
