The UU Seventh Principle Project believes that a vision of ecospirituality is implicit in living the seventh of our UU principles--respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. In the Fall of 2000, the Seventh Principle Project launched the Green Sanctuary Program,
with "Founder's Churches" across the U.S. and Canada. Green Sanctuary
asks a church to engage in 17 actions over a candidacy year, organized
into six areas of church life:
To obtain recognition as a Green Sanctuary, a church must follow through on five steps, outlined on the Program Overview, and submit an application for accreditation at the end of the church year. A church that undertakes to become a Green Sanctuary examines every area of church life--outreach, social concerns, religious education, buildings and grounds, social events, church communication and church administration--to see that its activities reflect respect for the interdependent web. It's walking the talk in a big way, and it gives the church a real sense of following through on its commitments in tangible, outwardly visible ways. New!! We have our own discussion group. Membership is limited to UUCT Green Sanctuary committee members and other interested church members and friends. Fill in your email address below and click "Join Now ." Come see the group site here.
