Scottish eco-congregations flourish

Ekklesia reports that "eco-congregations" are booming in the UK and particularly in Scotland.

In Scotland there are currently 172, with a total of 270 in England.

But given the small population of Scotland, this represents "a huge level of commitment in Scotland", Ekklesia says.

The term ‘eco-congregation’ is awarded to churches that have made a commitment to address environmental issues systemically through worship, programmes, the management of church property, outreach and community action.
