Lay Led Groups Green Sanctuary

What is “Green Sanctuary?”
Green Sanctuary is the lay-led ministry at the Unitarian Church of Harrisburg focusing on environmental concerns. All members of the congregation are welcome to join and participate.

UCH has been certified by the UUA as a Green Sanctuary. A Green Sanctuary is a congregation that lives out its commitment to the Earth by creating a sustainable lifestyle for its members as individuals and as a faith community.

In 2003, UCH was certified as a Green Sanctuary after completing all program requirements of the Seventh Principle Project of the UUA. This included conducting an environmental audit and designing a comprehensive program and action plan.

Our Seventh Principle affirms and promotes "Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." UCH joins UU congregations from across the country in this effort.

What we do
Green Sanctuary at UCH meets monthly to develop programs that support our members, our church and our wider community. We have decided to focus our efforts on congregational education at UCH, and grassroots political action related to climate change in cooperation with other churches. Watch for information in the UCH newsletter, the Reporter, or read our meeting minutes.
