On September 28, the Diocese of Mbashe proudly launched its Diocesan Green Anglicans Movement banner, marking a significant milestone in the church’s ongoing commitment to caring for God’s creation.
The event brought together Diocesan Chapter members, Diocesan Guide Leaders, and partners from both Provincial and local government, reflecting a shared vision of environmental stewardship and sustainability at the grassroots level.
The Mnquma Local Municipality graced the occasion and generously donated indigenous trees to be planted across the diocese. This gesture symbolises a practical step toward restoring the natural environment and combating the effects of climate change within local communities.
Also in attendance was the Eastern Cape Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs, which expressed its commitment to collaborate with the diocese in efforts aimed at safeguarding and renewing the Earth.
The day ended with the planting of a tree by the Diocesan Bishop, Bishop Fikizolo.
The launch serves as a reminder that creation care is a collective responsibility, one that unites faith communities, government institutions, and civil society in nurturing a more just and sustainable future.
