Environment and social justice

Social justice and creation care are fundamental to our common vision to become a more Christ-like Church.

With our world changing in new and unprecedented ways, we must think afresh about inequality, our communities, and what it means to be human. We need to be the best Church we can be in such a time as this: a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God’s world.

God is already at work through more than a thousand churches, chaplaincies and schools in this diocese and also through each of us as individual disciples. From food banks, to the Eco Church movement and our successful campaign for fossil fuel divestment, much is being done… Did you know that over 520 churches in this diocese are already involved in social action?

With as many as 1,700 community projects in the diocese, it’s clear that the church is doing some amazing things. This section of the website is packed with resources and information to help you to take the next steps towards a fairer, more just and inclusive church: contemplative, compassionate and courageous in all that we do.

“It is our calling and our responsibility”

It’s tough, but if schools, churches, parishioners and families all work together, we can make a meaningful difference.
