Our Mission:
To educate, inspire and support faith communities to sustained action on climate change
The Hope4Creation Foundation is a not-for-profit based in Oxford, UK and has charitable status (Registered charity number 1204459). We provide training and education within faith organisations to help them adopt sustainability and eco-activism as core values.
The journey so far…
Hope4Creation is still at the beginning of its journey, but it has been a busy few months with several successful courses and workshops run. Here are some of the latest updates:
H4C is a charity. Our registered number is 1204459.
We have already developed and delivered several workshops and courses, including a four-day interfaith workshop (God, Creation and Us) in Oxford in March 2022 (see a review of this event here), and a recent ‘Living Lightly’ conference held in a hybrid format online and in Oxford. The workshops were extremely well-received, and participants testified to the encouragement and inspiration they had gained from them.
We are delighted that Mpho Tutu Van Furth and Esther de Waal have agreed to become H4C patrons. Mpho is a renowned priest, activist and author of several books. Esther is well-known as a spiritual guide rooted in the Benedictine and Celtic traditions.
Our aims
for the coming year
Run a series of workshops for churches and other faith communities in the coming year.
Develop an action platform to disseminate hopeful solution stories about the climate change – both local, national and international.
Create a facilitator course to support those who have attended a H4C workshops and wish to host one themselves.
Network with other organisations linking with our work and promoting theirs: e.g. the Diocese of Oxford, the John Ray Institute, EarthWatch, Climate Outreach, the Children’s Radio Foundation (The Radio Workshop), the Laudato Si’ Research Institute and the A Rocha Eco-Award Scheme.
