Canon Dr Roland Riem, interim dean of Winchester Cathedral, said: “We had a heartfelt word from retired Baptist minister, James Grote, in notices on Sunday, plus an unfurling of CCA’s banner. Then we had conversations over coffee.
“Let us be very mindful that in the Christian tradition there is an uncomfortable prophetic element and we must take heed of that.”
The Cathedral is in the advanced stages of installing solar panels on its works yard roof, with plans to extend the scheme to four additional roofs in the Cathedral estate.
Other sustainability measures include measures to conserve energy, water usage, all waste to be recycled and many sustainable traders.
