In the context of the Whole Church Mission and Ministry Policy the Scottish Episcopal Church, through its Church in Society Committee, adopted a Statement of Principles concerning environmental sustainability and how it is applied within the mission of the Church.
In 2011 General Synod approved the Statement of Principles for Environmental Sustainability and the Mission of the Church.
Many congregations across the Scottish Episcopal Church have been awarded ‘Eco-Congregation’ status as have most of the seven dioceses.
