"For the Church of the 21st century, good ecology is not an optional extra but a matter of justice. It is therefore central to what it means to be a Christian"

Owen Jewiss



Last Friday was Owen's funeral at St Barnabas, Emmer Green. The vicar's address can be read here.

One of his colleagues described the importance of  Owen's work on grasslands and the contribution his team made to the knowledge which currently shapes the way this crucial resource is used for meat and milk production.

I was pleased to learn that a few weeks back the Bishop of Oxford had presented the Order of St Frideswide to Owen, a rare honour recognising his outstanding Christian life.

The photos here are from St Barnabas's beautiful meditation and prayer garden completed earlier this year.
