Fitzroy CARING for CREATION

We are a small group of people from Fitzroy interested in our World and 'doing our bit' to ensure it survives for future generations.

 

We started meeting in early 2009 to explore ways to support our churches to be more proactive in making environmental improvements.  We started with the Eco-Congregations Ireland Audit (see our results below). We submitted an application to Eco-Congregations Ireland and were successful in becoming an Eco Church in late 2011. We became the first Presbyterian Church in Ireland to get the award.

 

As a group, we try to meet each month to work through practical & theological issues around responding as a church to the changing environment. You are more than welcome to join us and come along. We have been reading through Dave Bookless' book PLANETWISE as part of our meetings.

 

Our next meeting will be held on:
