Ambassadors network
Faced with the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis, A Rocha wanted to take up the challenge of training, equipping and mobilising Christians on issues combining faith and ecology. To take its message further, give more weight to its actions and enable its members to become more widely involved, A Rocha France created its Ambassador network.
We already have over 130 confirmed Ambassadors spread throughout France. See the map below.
What are its objectives?
- To train Christians to be informed and motivated by the questions of ecology in a faith context.
- Send Ambassadors to speak about the environmental crisis (especially to Christians: in churches, youth groups, etc.)
- Create local inter-church groups for reflection, discussion and action on environmental issues.
- Support local initiatives
What does the network offer you?
- Webinars on environmental issues from a Christian perspective. Open to all, they are announced as they happen in our “Diary” section. They can also be replayed on our Youtube page.
- An annual week of training at the Domaine des Courmettes, open to all (ambassadors or not): the “Earth & Faith” week. This year, the theme of the course is “(Finally) accepting limits?
- An event on the theme of “ecology and faith”: If you are in charge of a church or group (such as a GBU, youth group, association, etc.) and would like an ambassador to speak in your church or group, click here. For more information, click on the link below:
