Increasingly as a church we recognise and accept our responsibility to respect and care for this world created by God. Genesis 2:15 describes how God calls us to be “earthkeepers” and we are continuing to learn what it means to “keep” the earth in ways that are consistent with God’s original creative intentions.
This booklet offers clear, practical guidance on how our stewardship of church buildings can also model good stewardship of the environment. This booklet is designed to help us take this practical action as responsible stewards of creation.
