Looking after the environment has never mattered more, but what can individuals, churches and local communities actually do? This day conference will help participants to better understand the issues and how they can play their part in responding to the major environmental challenges of our times. It will address the moral and spiritual issues from a Christian perspective, as well as providing the latest science and practical solutions. Workshops will provide information and inspiration from a range of Christian and secular organisations and everyone, irrespective of their beliefs or faith, is warmly invited to join us. No prior knowledge or experience required.
