This week saw our monthly Church @ 6 event go in a slightly different direction to some of our previous evenings. We were joined by Steve Hughes from A Rocha, a Christian environmental charity. We were all challenged by his words and passion on why protecting the environment is actually a key part of our calling as Christians.
Steve shared some examples of the work of A Rocha in renewing neglected sites in the UK to become amazing habitats for nature and also their work overseas encouraging sustainable development which will protect God’s creation for future generations. Further examples of A Rocha’s work can be found on their website. Steve also challenged us to be able to explain to others why Christians should be passionate about being good stewards of God’s creation, sharing several initiatives, including Eco Church.
Overall it was a challenging evening and has given us lots to consider as a community as we move forward together.
