The Framework of Environmental Promotion and Protection for the Anglican Church of Uganda

Bbosa Esau Kimanje

Abstract


A framework that can be used for the Anglican Church of Uganda for environmental promotion and protection using different approaches has been presented. The framework has an integration of all stakeholders of the Anglican Church of Uganda for example, Christian youths, Christian men, and Christian women, working together with the non-Christians, Community leaders and Non-Government Organizations that respond to the environmental promotion and protection. It calls for responsible Church carrying out activities such as sensitization, policy adherence, planting of trees, fighting plastic materials. All these can be realized through youth involvement, men involvement, women inclusiveness, community leaders’ engagement, and collaboration with NGOs.
