Event Details

In June 2022, the Anglican Diocese of Gippsland at its Synod forum, made a commitment to taking action on climate change. This webinar will support us as we take up the challenge of sustainable living at home and in our gathering places.

Bishop Richard Treloar will chair a panel of guest speakers:

• The Revd Dr Ji Zhang, Uniting Church in Australia - Revd Dr Zhang is the producer of a video series Towards Zero that brings together our theology along with practical actions to reduce emissions, and importantly, tools to measure our impact. Reflecting on his own personal journey, and drawing on his experience in the renewable energy industry, Rev Dr Zhang shows us the real possibility of becoming carbon neutral as a household, a congregation, a network of agencies and a whole church.

• Sally Shaw, National Director of AROCHA Australia - A Rocha is a Christian nature conservation organisation. A Rocha projects are frequently cross-cultural in character, and share a community emphasis, with a focus on science and research, practical conservation and environmental education. www.australia.arocha.org

Returning from the inaugural Gippsland New Energy Conference (gnec.com.au), Ian is across the latest news and options for sustainable energy. Also a member of the Mirboo North Uniting Church, Ian understands the work and opportunities facing churches. www.bbsn.org.au
