How To Build Community

'Eco Church' is a scheme for churches in the UK who want to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for the planet as well as its people. Since it was launched by the environmental charity A Rocha in 2016, thousands of churches have worked to achieve 'Eco Church' status.

In this episode, Eco Church founder RUTH VALERIO tells us how it began, its current leader HELEN STEPHENS tells us how it's growing, and participant IMOGEN NAY tells us how it has impacted her church and wider community.
