SYNOD four churches in the Diocese<br />
received Eco Awards — 1 Silver; 3 Bronze.<br />
Kat received a Bronze Award on behalf of <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong><br />
Redcliffe from Bishop Viv, and spoke about the<br />
theology behind our responses to creation care<br />
as Incarnational. Below Aggy tells us about the<br />
church’s <strong>2020</strong> Lent Appeal and some of the ways<br />
in which that theological vision will be 'fleshed<br />
out'. — EV; Synod member<br />
"IT'S<br />
MY GREAT PLEASURE to announce the<br />
John Ray Initiative as our charity for<br />
our <strong>2020</strong> Lent Appeal! We have invited the Revd<br />
Margot Hodson and her husband Dr Martin Hodson<br />
as our guest speakers; they will share with us their<br />
vision on how to bring together scientific and<br />
Christian understandings of the environment.<br />
We plan to launch our Lent appeal with Pancakes with the Planet on Shrove<br />
Tuesday! Other exciting plans include: a mending/repair (electronic equipment)<br />
café; a bike repair workshop; a surplus food event; an eco-fair, and an art<br />
exhibition. As part of the art exhibition, we would love you to take part in<br />
making “eco-bricks” (specific instructions to follow); using our eco-bricks, the<br />
artists will create an eco-brick tomb!<br />
This year the Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishop Viv have recommended the<br />
Lent book Saying Yes to Life by Ruth Valerio. Using this book, we plan to have<br />
Lent groups in the four corners of Bristol. And together, we hope to be<br />
challenged, to reflect and to think about our everyday concerns and the<br />
issues that are having an impact on millions of lives around the world.<br />
This is only the beginning! Our SMR Eco-team who came up with<br />
some of the brilliant ideas for the Lent appeal will continue to help<br />
us develop and implement changes in the ways we care for our planet<br />
