Creation Care Parish Report

Creation Care Parish Report
In 2021, the Care for God's Creation and Creatures Resolution was passed at ECCT's annual convention. In the resolution it is resolved that parishes, worshipping communities, and Intentional Episcopal Communities, commit to a climate advocacy initiative; that each congregation will complete an energy audit within the next two years and every five years thereafter; and, as much as feasible, each congregation shall follow through in making improvements and changes to their buildings which can save these congregations money over the longer term.

The resolution also stipulates that each parish, worshipping community, and Intentional Episcopal Community, report the status of their energy audit, related improvements, and their climate advocacy initiative as part of the Parochial Report addendums. Such data will be shared with the Mission Council and the Creation Care Ministry Network to enable collaboration and the sharing of resources, best practices, creative solutions, and economies of scale in purchasing energy.

To fulfill this resolution, ECCT requests that each parish complete this survey each year by no later than March 1.
