St. Paul’s Church, Milwaukee: A Greener Faith, A More Vital Parish
by The Rev. Miranda Hassett, for the Diocese of Milwaukee Commission on Mission & Development
St. Paul’s applied for a 2013 Meachem Fund Congregational Development grant to help pay the fees associated with undertaking the GreenFaith certification program (greenfaith.org). This is an exciting undertaking that brings together stewardship of resources, stewardship of creation, Christian formation and missional engagement with the surrounding community. John Hainze of St. Paul’s answered some questions about the program. St. Paul’s would be happy to share their experiences, and better yet, their journey with other parishes! Check the GreenFaith website to learn more; they have many helpful resources, even if starting the certification process isn’t the right step for your parish right now.
