What is ECEN?

Since 1998 we have brought together churches and Christian environmental groups to share information, experiences, widely varied traditions, environmental work, and a united witness to caring for God's creation.

ECEN works closely with the churches in Europe through Conference of European Churches (www.ceceurope.org) and with the European Catholic Bishops' Conference (www.ccee.ch)

These links will tell you about the key people in ECEN, the story of its development, and the structure of its organisation.

If you are unfamiliar with the site, the new visitors page provides orientation. The site map helps you find specific pages. You are warmly encouraged to join ECEN or contribute material to the website.
