All things bright and beautiful need to be sustainable as well, says Church of England’s new flower policy Look out for more local flowers in your parish church, after a new ruling.

Interesting week engaging with church policymaking on sustainable flowers, just before St Valentine’s too! Calls to stop the debate didn’t succeed. It was made clear-how 🌺 are grown, sold & displayed impacts people & planet 🌍-a justice issue. Hope you enjoyed your💚weekend.
