Nurture in His Name Videos

We have received the following excellent videos.  Although these are English they are very relevant to the work of Eco-Congregation Scotlad.

The first two films of a series aimed at helping clergy and congregations to understand practical steps that they can take - and the theological reasons why they should - to be good environmental managers of their buildings and land are now available on http://www.youtube.com/user/NurtureInHisName

Nurture In His Name is the title suggested by the Archbishop of Canterbury who, with the Archbishop of Westminster, introduces the series and both appear in the first two films which look at solar power and biodiversity. Further subjects will be introduced shortly including encouraging children and young people, creating a wildlife areas, environmental training for clergy and case studies.

The series producers Mary Colwell and David Shreeve believe that the series could have discovered a new TV 'star'. 19 years old Polly Benson from Somerset introduces the solar programme and interviews a variety of people including a vicar and an architect about solar panels and questions what happens on a cold winters day. It is hoped to use Polly's talents in more productions currently underway. Others taking part include theologian John Bimson of Trinity College, Bristol, naturalist Chris Sperring, and David Moss a vicar from Bedminster. The films are available on YouTube and will be updated regularly. The producers welcome information from churches undertaking environmental initiatives who would like to share their experiences - good and bad - with others.
