Episode Synopsis

The Archdeacon of Macclesfield, Ian Bishop is joined in conversation by Revd Debbie Dalby, curate at Grange, and co-chairs of the diocesan Environment Forum, the Revd Joe Kennedy and the Revd Mike Loach.
The podcast was recorded on the eve of the season of Lent. This Lent the Diocese of Chester, led by the diocesan Environment Forum, is inviting people in the diocese to join in with a gentle Lenten journey. 
Leading the way are 40 individuals from around our diocese who will each delve into scripture and share inspiring personal stories about the small ways in which they are moved to cherish the gift of life.
In this podcast Ian, Debbie, Joe and Mike talk about the Lent campaign and more broadly about their hopes for the Enviroment Forum and the different ways we can each live more sustainable lives and begin to take steps to become Eco-Churches.
