H4C at the Season of Creation

On Saturday 7th September 2024 Hope4Creation delivered a workshop for members of the Diocese of London, Kensington Area, as part of the Season of Creation, hosted at St John's Church Notting Hill.

The workshop provided a introduction to our charity's approach to engaging and galvanising religious communities to take meaningful action on climate change and other ecological crises, and demonstrated how creation care is authentic and central to Christian theology. We explored the Four Acts of creation care as formulated in the doctoral thesis of H4C Founder, Dr Charlotte Bannister-Parker, as well as providing practical advice and next steps for people from a range of denominations who are working towards the Eco Church Awards.

One of the Four Acts, the Act of Eco Pilgrimage, involved reflecting on the natural in the grounds of the church, including a special beekeeping demonstration from the St John's Church Administrator, Johannes.

One participant, Lindsey, found the workshop to be 'a breath of fresh air'. The H4C Team found giving the workshop to be an enriching experience due to the high quality of contributions and feedback from our participants who shared inspiring stories and insights from their own eco journeys.
