The Diocese of St Albans is hoping to establish a team of Deanery Eco Champions to provide support and encouragement for parishes in each deanery as they seek to respond to the climate and ecological emergency. Caring for creation is an essential part of the church’s mission and ministry, and this voluntary role significantly contributes to the Diocesan vision of Living God’s Love by enabling parishes to take action for climate and nature as part of their Christian witness in their local communities.
In each deanery, there will be up to three Deanery Eco Champions to support parishes in their environmental work and encourage local initiatives, particularly through the Eco Church scheme. The Deanery Eco Champion will be a named person who will act as a point of contact for parishes within the Deanery, helping with the provision of resources and training, and facilitating communication between churches and other groups in the local community.
How to apply
If you would like to consider becoming a Deanery Eco Champion, please contact Rachel Johnston, Diocesan Environment Officer environment@stalbans.anglican.org for an application form. There is no deadline for applications and we welcome interest from anyone at any stage.
