At the 2013 Convention this past January, we adopted a resolution calling on the congregations of the diocese to work with GreenFaith, the interfaith environmental organization which the diocese helped found, to reduce their energy use and costs and their carbon footprint. This is a response to a dual reality – that congregations can realize real energy savings at a time when church budgets are tight, and that we should model responsible energy use in response to climate change.
In order to address these needs, we are pleased to announce the GreenFaith Energy Services Program, a partnership of GreenFaith and the Diocese of Newark for congregations of the diocese. The Program will begin with the first 20 congregations that sign up to take part.
