Green Sanctuary
Green Sanctuary is a growing
movement among faith communities of many denominations to recognize the
importance of environmental stewardship in all aspects of life--at home, at
church and at work. IKE is working with local congregations to help them
understand the importance of this effort and to provide practical tools to help
them on their journey. On this page, we provide some resources and links
that we hope will be helpful.

Workshop called "Walk Softly but Keep the Lights On," a session for Central
Indiana congregations to learn how to integrate environmental
stewardship into the spiritual life of the congregation and encourage care for
creation in all aspects of church and home life. Materials from the workshop can be
