Mission Statement of the EnviroAction Committee

Calling the people of the Diocese of Huron to be good stewards of God’s Created order; The EnviroAction committee will be the Diocesan focus:

1. Reviewing our current environmental practices
2. Affirming our environmental responsibility in ministry
3. Educate about environmental issues
4. Proposing policy options that enable and encourage us to be faithful in caring for God’s creation.

Five Marks of Mission

The Five Marks of Mission are a work in progress that continues to be reviewed and adapted, while offering the Anglican Communion a practical checklist for mission work and a comprehensive view of Christ’s Mission.

They are:
1. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
2. To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
3. To respond to human need by loving service
4. To seek to transform unjust structures of society
5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.

New Website for Everything EnviroAction

A friendly new face for the EnviroAction Committee to provide resources and assistance for churches. As well, for Anglicans and Anglican churches to help us out if they wish. So how do we begin? Let us know. While you are thinking about that we will put up photos and files that will provide a face lift to our resources. Looking forward to you looking through them and us tweaking our pages. --John
