Eco-Church
Survey
On how criteria were selected, how points are awarded and weighted, how Awards are defined
Reasonable Assumptions
The CofE as state church will have unique opportunities and challenges in pursuing sustainability, which may be reflected in the number and type of awards
Geographically and hierarchically structured and centralised denominations (e.g. CofE) are more likely to have eco-churches than independent, localised denominations (e.g
Eco-Diocese/Synod/Circuits are likely to have a proportionally higher number of awarded eco-churches
Eco-Church is more likely to be adopted within denominations, and in locations where different churches work together on shared projects
-
Eco-Church is more likely to be adopted where church members already work or volunteer in sustainability related areas, e.g. conservation, community action
Denomination will affect which areas of the survey a church gains most points in: for instance, Salvation Army might score highest in Community & Global
Other Award Schemes
For comparison of scope, content, award criteria, etc etc
