The Ecological Conversion Group (ECG) are hosting a webinar on the 1st September to inaugurate the Jubilee Garden Project.

All are warmly invited to join on Tuesday 1st September at 8pm (UK time), to celebrate the launch of the project – created in partnership with ‘The God Who Speaks’ of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.


What is the Jubilee Garden Project?

The ‘Jubilee Garden Project’ is an invitation to use physical space to heal, transform and renew. The project has three patrons to help us to engage in the rebuilding of our relationship with God, with neighbours and with the earth; Mary, Martha and Lazarus from John 11-12. These three siblings from the town of Bethany were among Jesus’ closest friends and will represent the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. To be a ‘Jubilee Garden’, each patron and their virtue must be enacted in the garden as a way of rebuilding communion with God, with our neighbour, and with the earth.

In so doing, we also rebuild trust in ourselves. The care of the garden becomes a physical work, representational of the care needed for our community, whilst also inspiring our own faith journey.
