Thoughts

The Bishop of London unveiled a new CofE Tool kit and resources for reducing CO2 production. He was at Speaking on 11 June at Lambeth Palace at an event to mark the third anniversary of the CofE's environmental campaign, and urged representatives from all dioceses to go one step further in cutting the carbon reminding them that caring for the planet is a Christian imperative for the sake of future generations. See these resources

The Church of England has signed up to Government targets of reducing its carbon emissions to 20% of current levels by 2050.

This will take place at 10.30am on Thurday July 9th.
