Are you passionate about faith and the environment?
Do you want to get involved in climate care in your church context, but don’t know where to start?
Are you already part of an eco-church with awesome experiences to share?
Do you want to explore climate justice?
Are you already an eco-activist?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then please join the Methodist Church’s Eco Community Network.
This community network will meet formally three times per Connexional year, on a weekday evening, from 7pm-9pm on Zoom.
Each gathering will seek to nurture, inspire, equip, and enable members on their individual and community journeys of creation care.
The gatherings will aim to do this by bringing together people from all around the Connexion -- Methodist members and those who are not members -- for collaborative learning, sharing stories, and fellowship.
Within each 2-hour gathering, there will be the opportunity for reflection, asking questions, sharing what's happening in your context and listening to what's happening in other contexts, alongside the sharing and signposting of accessible information and resources.
Each gathering can be accessed via the same Zoom link (found on the Event Page); the Zoom waiting room will be open from 6.45pm, will open 5 minutes before the official 7pm start, and will end promptly at 9pm.
The dates and draft titles* for the gatherings across the 2024/2025 Connexional year are:
Tuesday 12 November: Eco-Justice 'Hearts and Minds'
Monday 10 February: Eco-Practice 'Habits and Behaviours'
Wednesday 21 May: Greening our Spaces: window boxes to community gardens’
*Titles may shift as we consult throughout the sessions and ongoing feedback.
This network is an outcome of the collaboration between The Methodist Church's Climate Justice Priority Collaboration Group (CJPCG), The Methodist Church's Action for Hope strategy, and the Methodist Church's Learning Network.
