Earthing Faith Gathering Planning

North Hinksey Church
I was up at Diocesan Church House in Oxford this morning to help plan the first gathering of the Earthing Faith Network - the train at 9.40 was surprisingly empty so very easy with the bike and the last part of the cycle ride to North Hinksey is beautiful. Matt reported that there has been great interest in the SMeasure scheme for churches to monitor emissions with more than 100 expressions of interest and 37 churches now regsitered. There has also been interest from 50 schools.
Most of the meeting was spent planning the forthcoming gathering at Diocesan Church House on 2nd February which promises to be a wonderful opportunity for finding out what else is happening around the diocese, learning from others' experiences and building community.
