Sustainability reporting

Quakers in Britain is running a trial asking all Quaker communities to report on sustainability using the EcoChurch themes.

• Worship and teaching
• Buildings and energy
• Land and nature
• Community and global engagement
• Lifestyle

Your Quaker community is not being asked to join EcoChurch. However, if your Quaker meeting is not currently an EcoChurch member you might wish to consider this. Whether or not your meeting wishes to join EcoChurch, we are asking all meetings to give a narrative report based on the themes EcoChurch uses.
