As Creation Care Enabler for the diocese, I help parishes embrace the fifth mark of mission: to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth. We're living during a time of unprecedented biodiversity loss and climate change. It's more important than ever before that the church steps up to the task of tending and keeping the garden of creation. I work with churches to highlight caring for creation in all of our worship, including sermons, music, and the way we inhabit our buildings and the land entrusted to our care.

Courtnay is the Creation Care Enabler, based in Kaikōura. She shepherds St Peter's church.
Sermons and materials. I can come and preach a sermon on creation care at your church. I can also point parishes in the right direction for resourcing materials to help highlight creation care in sermon writing and worship.
Retreats. Get in touch to find out about retreats that focus on relating to God in and through the rest of creation.
Reflections. I write reflections, published in Kōrero and elsewhere, that I hope will help the Church to 'draw the circle wider' by re-imagining our place in the world alongside God's other creatures.
Eco Church. I can help churches on their journey to become an eco church through A Rocha's Eco Church programme.
