Who we are and what we do
We are a community of ordinary Christians from all backgrounds and traditions who seek to:
- let loose hope in this damaged, exploited and unjust world
- pioneer practical discipleship in shared prayer, struggle and action
- equip prophetic witness through our campaigns and resources
- empower agents of change in churches and the green movement
We walk alongside those of faith and no faith and we invite you to join us
- We organise eventsacross the UK where you can learn, reflect, share stories, pray and encourage one another.
- We publish resources for you to share with others: our website, magazine, leaflets, Prayer Guide, e-newsletter, posters. Members can belong to a closed email discussion group for sharing stories and ideas and encouraging each other.
- We join with others to walk this road together by providing guest speakers, facilitating local groups and the Green Christian Way of Life community.
- We find Joy in Enough and promote a positive alternative to our economic situation. You can find out more at www.joyinenough.org
Join or Donate by post
If you cannot join online, it is also possible to join Green Christian by cheque or standing order.
