I mentioned awhile back that a bunch of people from around Brisbane Anglican churches are forming a group devoted to setting an environmental agenda in the mission of the Anglican church in the Brisbane diocese.

The first of the groups activities is to put together a kit for running services to celebrate world environment day. The kit includes an example liturgy, some information about world environment day and this years UN topic which is Climate Change. There will also be a sheet for practical tips related to the topic of Climate Change. Each year, we will expand on this kit and incorporate more example material, photos and hymns / choruses used from the churches that run these services.

The group is called Heads, Hearts and Hands for Creation which I personally find a bit sentimental. As with all of these kinds of groups, there are some elements self righteousness that I find a little grating but mostly the people in the group are genuinely concerned about the environment and want to be a part of the of the solution (as my friend Damian at the n4c would say).

The group doesn’t yet have a website, but the meetings are being advertised in the Focus which is a newspaper which can be found up the back of most Anglican churches in Brisbane.
