Silver Eco Church Award
/
Rochester Cathedral has been awarded a Silver Eco Award for our sustainability and conservation efforts.
Eco Church is a Rocha UK’s award scheme for churches in England and Wales who want to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for God’s earth. The overall aim of the Eco Church award scheme is to celebrate the ways that church communities have been engaging with caring for the earth as a key part of our Christian faith.
The Cathedral welcomed over 51,000 visitors in three weeks during the recent Gaia exhibition reflecting on sustainability and conservation. Find out about how we’re becoming more sustainable at Rochester Cathedral on our Sustainability blog.
