Gloucestershire Churches Environmental Justice Network

Gloucestershire Churches Environmental Justice Network meets three or four times per year. It supports the churches as they grapple with challenges associated with the environment. It supports environmentally active people within the churches. Members are also kept in touch by e-mail. The group of people who constitute the network formerly met as Gloucestershire Churches Sustainability Forum and more recently as Gloucestershire Green Churches. Membership is open to all those within the churches who are concerned about environmental issues. Meetings usually take place at Saint Aldate’s Church, Gloucester (on the Number One and Number seven bus routes from the Gloucester City Bus stand - not the bus station) in Clarence Street, Gloucester. The next meeting (from the date of posting this item) is 1200-1400 Wednesday 19 September 2007 in the Jubilee Room of Saint Aldate's Church, Gloucester. Coffee, tea, squash and biscuits will be available, but please bring your own packed lunch. Please let us know if you intend to be there (see address below).

There is a small team of people available to meet with the leaders and congregations of churches in Gloucestershire to help them to devise and develop their environmental policies – and to put their policies into effect.

Information about forthcoming meetings may be had from The Reverend Kingsley Jones who is the Environmental Officer of Gloucester Diocese working in partnership with Churches Together in Gloucestershire. His address is:
