Church in Southern Africa challenged to care for the environment

From Anglican News-

The Anglican Church in Southern Africa has called on all Churches on the continent to get involved in the care for creation through worship, local church action and advocacy.

The Environmental Co-ordinator for the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA), the Revd Dr Rachel Mash made the call in a statement to ACNS yesterday.

"This can start with a simple energy and water audit to establish the extent of a parish environmental foot-print," she said. "A congregation can also commit to celebrating Season of Creation, or World Environment Day among many other environmental events."

The Anglican Church of Southern Africa Provincial Synod recently passed two resolutions emphasising that environmental issues must become part of the mainstream concern of the church agenda.
