This is the heart of the ECEN Network. Out of the great range of environmental issues relevant to the European churches, here are the ones we are currently focussing on. To help us work together, we have formed a set of informal sub-networks called Working Groups or Coalitions. Each Coalition has a programme of work, a core group of people committed to it and a Facilitator who co-ordinates the group.

These are not closed groups of a few experts! All members and associate members of ECEN are warmly invited to join in the work of one or more of the Coalitions. To join, or find out more about a Coalition, please contact the relevant facilitator. Their email addresses are given below, and full addresses are given on the page for each one.
