Environmental insights: Forest puts down roots



The first story in our series about Creation Care around the Church of Ireland:

 

Among the news Bishop Paul Colton brought back from the Lambeth Conference was that of the inauguration of the Anglican Communion Forest.

On behalf of all being confirmed in 2023 in Cork, Cloyne and Ross, Bishop Colton reached out to the Irish voluntary group Reforest Nation and arranged that Reforest Nation will plant an entire forest of 300 trees in their name.

Each person being confirmed in the diocese this year has received a specially created certificate (see above) which combines the certificate of Reforest Nation with the artwork of the Anglican Communion Forest adapted, with permission, for use in the diocese.
