We would recommend doing it, as it can be a part of the church’s giving and good stewardship. Taking this action is an expression of what it means to be disciples and to care for the world God has created.
- Philip Bowdler, Church leader at Amott Road Baptist Church, London
The Big Church Switch is a simple, practical, good idea. It supports the move to renewable energy. If Lent is about renewing our lives in response to the love of God here is a way to follow. You can do it, and so will I.
- Nicholas Holtam, Bishop of Salisbury
The UK church has a vital role in overcoming poverty and inequality in a way which doesn’t cost the earth and lasts for generations to come. Switching is a great way for Christians to love our neighbours and show the government we want more action on climate change, like investment in clean, renewable energy."
- Ben Niblett, Senior Campaigner at Tearfund
The church community wants the kind of energy that helps us care for creation. But to make the big shift to a low carbon future happen, we also need our governments to play their part and to drive the energy market towards 100% clean energy. The Big Church Switch enables the church to lead the way in the transition to low carbon energy, and to call on our governments to follow suit.
- Laura Taylor, Head of Advocacy at Christian Aid
It is good to know that the money we spend on our energy is going to be invested in renewable sources and that even while we sit and enjoy watching TV, we are contributing to a more sustainable future locally and globally.
- Matt and Miriam Sawyer, Winchester
Switching to renewable electricity is one of the simplest ways to cut your carbon footprint, it’s a big step forward for climate justice. That’s why here in West Yorkshire and the Dales we are helping all our parishes to switch with our Green Journey scheme.
- Jemima Parker, Diocesan Environment Officer
As an agency of the Catholic Church, inspired by the call of Pope Francis to care for our common home and all of us who depend on it, we support the Big Church Switch as a powerful act of unity and witness.
- Sarah Hagger-Holt, Campaign Engagement Manager at CAFOD
The Big Church Switch calls on churches and individual Christians of all denominations to switch their energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable energy. By using clean, renewable energy the Church can demonstrate its commitment to care for our neighbours and for the earth – our common home.
