Church of Scotland: let there be green light
The Kirk has appointed its first ever environmental chief in an effort to make its churches and parishioners greener.New church buildings will have energy-saving features and congregations will be encouraged to ditch their cars when travelling to services.
Adrian Shaw, a church-goer who previously worked with a series of environmental organisations, has been appointed to advise Kirk committees and congregations on how to respond to climate change through the Eco-Congregation programme.
The Kirk has decided to step up its environmental role after sister churches in the developing world – many established through the help of Scottish missionaries in the 19th century – urged fellow believers in the west to act to avoid environmental catastrophe.
