With pressure on budgets and soaring energy costs, this small book will
be worth its weight in gold to every local church. It offers expert
advice that will equip non-professionals to make informed decisions on
making their church buildings more sustainable, understand
sustainability technologies, help navigate changing permission processes
and thus save time and money – and serve the Anglican mark of mission
to care for creation.
Nigel Walter demystifies the topic of sustainability and provides a
wealth of practical advice and quick-wins. He includes guidance on:
- developing a plan that suits your church;
- improving your maintenance practices;
- alternative ways to heat your church;
- where and how to get professional help ;
- navigating the new permission processes.
A helpful appendix lists numerous sources of further advice and
guidance.
Comprehensive in scope, authoritative in content, practical in outlook
and written in lively, accessible language, no church should be without a
copy of this essential guide.
