MCCN VISION FOR CONGREGATIONS

Congregations practice sustainability and environmental stewardship appropriate to their contexts. Each congregation appoints a liaison to MCCN to help information flow between the congregation and the network.

Our goal is 100 congregations actively caring for creation in the ways best suited to their context, each with a liaison in place. Right now we're up to 57 congregations, 57 shades of green.

Who are the 100 Shades Congregations? See a list.
