Eco Chaplaincy training – is God calling you?

We’re building a network of chaplains across the diocese. If you’re already a parish Eco Rep, this will really simply mean sharing your experience with churches in a wider area. Could God be calling you?

The primary purpose of this voluntary role is to encourage and support churches to respond to the climate an ecological crisis, by advocating for environmental action, resourcing others, and helping churches on their Eco Church and net zero journey. The role is supported by the Diocesan Environment Officer and Net Zero Carbon Adviser.

The next training course takes place over Wednesdays 17 & 24 June, from 1:30 – 3:30pm in central Norwich. The training sessions will cover the theological context of our climate and biodiversity crises, our missional response to them, and how to signpost parishes to practical support on working towards net zero, improving biodiversity and progressing through the Eco Church survey.

For a more details of what the role commitment and responsibilities are, please see the role description HERE and/or contact Barbara.bryant@dioceseofnorwich.org 07876 634867 for a chat.

You’ll need to be able to commit to attending both dates, but do not need to commit to the role until after training is completed. You will need to have the agreement of your parish priest/incumbent. Please contact Barbara if you would like to book onto the course.
