Clergy Spouse commit to Awareness and Action


On the weekend of 26–28 September 2025, the Diocese of Natal held its Clergy Spouse Conference at Mariannhill Retreat House in Pinetown, Durban. The Green Anglicans team was invited to give a presentation, which was led by Mrs. Pinkie Nkomonde, the Diocesan Mothers’ Union Eco-Champion. She spoke on the biblical foundations of caring for Creation, highlighting how the stewardship of the environment is a spiritual responsibility.
Mrs. Pinke further emphasised that clergy spouses play a vital role in the life of the Church’s ministry, as many people look up to them as spiritual leaders and role models. This influence, she noted, can be a powerful force in mobilising others to take action in caring for our common home.
The conference concluded with a collective pledge by participants to raise awareness and take practical steps in caring for God’s Creation.
