Eco and Environment Justice
St Nic’s Eco and Environmental Justice Team is passionate about helping St. Nic’s care for creation and practice good stewardship of the many gifts God has given us including our building, land, and people. Members of team are from a variety of backgrounds and are passionate about empowering people to do what they can to make a difference.
We have a Bronze Eco Church award through A Rocha in conjunction with The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham’s Caring for Creation initiative. A Rocha helps us evaluate how we are practicing caring for creation through five categories:
-Worship and teaching
-Buildings
-Land
-Community and global engagement
-Lifestyle
We have been awarded the Bronze award in recognition of our efforts to care for God’s earth in each of the following areas: Worship and Teaching, Management of Buildings and Land Community and Global Engagement Lifestyle.
