Wardie Parish Church holds Eco-Congregation Scotland’s Gold award.

Many Christians are concerned about the environment but don’t know what they can do. Eco-Congregation Scotland helps congregations understand environmental issues and make appropriate practical and spiritual responses.

We manage our buildings and garden, and all our purchasing at Wardie in ways which reflect our commitment to the principles of an eco-congregation:

• inspired to care for God’s creation through prayer, worship and conversation
• as faith-based people, enabled and encouraged as agents of change
• working co-operatively with each other and with others who care about people and planet, building partnerships for our mission
• committed to urgent change at individual, community, national and global levels
• recognising our personal and collective contributions to global climate chaos and acknowledging our need to respond.

We always welcome initiatives to improve our practice and to debate issues.

Our Kirk Session approves and reviews a summary policy, ‘Wardie Cares’, each year, and our Church and World group leads on the related activities, events and discussions and reports to the Kirk Session.
