On #EarthDay this week we shared some inspiring stories of work in historic churches such as St Mary's Haddington, The Govan Stones ⚔🛡👑 & Cairnlea Parish Church to reduce carbon footprints and improve sustainability
Since we need #EarthDay EveryDay we've blogged about them too👇

Really pleased to partner with Scottish Environment LINK on their first media briefing today, and to hear from brilliant speakers Richard Dixon, Satwat Rehman Just Transition Commission and Dave Powell Climate Outreach about climate targets, fairness and communications
It's a good week at SBC. On Tue we had our Open Day, we ate together & held a seminar with Eco-Congregation Scotland (see photo). Today, before we break for Easter, we celebrated communion together. Eating together, learning together, worshipping together - it's the heart of what we do!
'Scotland’s progress on climate change is being put at risk by the frosty relationship between its two governments.'
We could not agree with Chris Stark more: much deeper coordination is needed between UK and Scottish governments to deliver climate policies.
64 organisations have signed an open letter to First Minister to express deep concerns about the delivery of Scotland's climate commitments, and to call for an emergency response to last week's Climate Change Committee report.

Congratulations to Dalserf Church, South Lanarkshire, on the kirk's surprise Silver Award from Eco-Congregation Scotland.
The church had been aiming for a Bronze Award, but the congregation exceeded even their own expectations.
#Congratulations !
