Faith Plans Newsletter | February 2023 |
|
|
After a long winter here in the northern hemisphere, when news of ecological disasters made the dark nights feel even longer, spring is beginning to appear at last. Fresh new buds are appearing on the trees and spring bulbs are pushing their shoots above the ground. We too have been busy laying the groundwork for an exciting year ahead. The Faith Plans framework is now more accessible than ever, with a new multi-part email series packed with information about the Seven Key Areas. We're also finalising a Strategic Plan for the next three years, in time for the next newsletter. We were delighted to receive an exciting new Faith Plan from the Armenia Inter-Church Round Table Foundation & Partners. Our news feeds continue to be filled with stories of disaster, stories of courage and stories of conflict. While it would be easy to give up hope, we are heartened to hear stories from people of faith around the world who continue to do all that they can to protect people and planet, and to share them with you in this newsletter.
