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.
