Environmental Chaplaincy
Our Chaplain, Rev’d David Coleman, works alongside congregations to share experiences, support growth, and celebrate Eco-Congregation life.
Rev’d David Coleman is eager to get to know local congregations’ initiatives, to hear of your trials and joys, and to lead or share leadership of worship, when appropriate, taking note of your own tradition.
Encouraging the committed core of congregations is also a high priority. David is an experienced, ordained minister in the United Reformed Church, a mainstream Christian church in the UK, and is also a Member of the Iona Community, having led programmed weeks at the Abbey.
A visit from the chaplain is an opportunity to celebrate what it means to be an Eco-Congregation. In preaching and in presentations, David makes use of multimedia, and is well-equipped to work in varied venues, not just on Sundays, or Sunday mornings.
