ECO Matters

"This is the kind of fast day I'm after: to break the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the oppressed, cancel debts. What I am interested in seeing you do is: sharing your food with the hungry, inviting the homeless poor into your homes, putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad, being available to your own families."  Isaiah 58 v 6-7

This Bible verse reminds us that all those suffering the effects of the climate crisis are our brothers and sisters. In God's family we are one not separate. We are called to care for our whole family on this Earth, which is our common home.

We believe that care for the planet is part of our calling as Christian people. We have occasional church services which provides the opportunity as part of the service to explore an eco theme. As part of the Harvest Thanksgiving service we celebrated our beautiful world and highlighted the need share even when it is difficult. 

The ECO group meets throughout the year and seeks to raise general awareness of how we can care better for the planet and to explain how our Christian faith motivates us in this area of life. Please find out more at www.ecoconregationscotland.org
