St Edmund's has a new website up an running. Have a look at www.shipstonchurch.org
The bronze eco church award is given by aRocha, a Christian environmental charity. We have looked at our church building, our use of environmentally friendly cleaning products, how our churchyard is managed and where we get our electricity from among other things.Future work will involve encouraging individuals to change their lifestyles, and engaging with the community on environmental issues and education.More details about the Diocesan Environmental Group can be found via the link below.
