On March 21st, the Green Anglicans in the Diocese of Mthatha hosted an Environmental Awareness Workshop at the church of the Transfiguration in Nzwakazi, in the Archdeaconry of Misty Mount. The diocesan Green Anglicans Coordinators, Mr. Bonginkosi White, and Ms. Tuletu Ngudle, along with the Diocesan Chaplain, Revd. M. W. Mpumlwana, led discussions on environmental stewardship.
Key topics included:
- Waste management
- Water conservation
- Sustainable kitchen gardens
- Soya bean cultivation, its products, and benefits
Attendees also had the opportunity to taste soya-based products such as bread, scones, and biscuits. The workshop was well attended by representatives from all parishes within the Archdeaconry of Misty Mount. Revd. S. Nondonga from the Archdeaconry of Mzimvubu was also present and expressed keen interest in the Green Anglicans movement.
As climate change continues to impact our communities, we encourage parishes and archdeaconries within the Diocese of Mthatha to invite the Green Anglicans team for similar workshops. Together, we can take action to mitigate environmental challenges and care for God’s creation.
