On June 29, 2024, Green Anglicans Lesotho took a significant step towards promoting
environmental conservation by planting trees at a confirmation service in Hlotse.
Rapelang Korotjoe, one of the Diocesan Green Anglicans coordinators, had the special
privilege of participating in the tree planting ceremony alongside Bishop Kgabe and
confirmed candidates at St. Savior’s Parish.
The event was a symbolic gesture of the organization’s commitment to caring for God’s
creation and promoting sustainable practices within the Anglican community in Lesotho.
The act of planting trees not only helps to mitigate climate change but contributes to the
Anglicans communion forest initiative which Green Anglicans align themselves with.
Additional trees were left in the care of the parish’s Green Anglicans coordinators, who
will continue to nurture and monitor their growth. This hands-on approach to
environmental stewardship not only fosters a deeper connection to nature but also
empowers individuals to take action in their own communities.
As we strive to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations, initiatives
like the tree planting ceremony at St. Savior’s Parish serve as a reminder of the
importance of caring for our planet and living in harmony with God’s creation. Through
collective action and individual responsibility, we can make a meaningful impact on the
health of our environment and create a more greener and sustainable future for all.
These trees will form part of the communion Forest
