Eco Discipleship, Enabling and Mission
A programme of environmental discipleship, enabling and mission training across three levels. This envisages three categories of 
engagement:
- Eco Discipleship for All (Saving Creation Bronze)
- Parish Environment Officer (Saving Creation Silver)
- Eco Mission Enabling, linked to the pilot role of Eco Missioner (Saving Creation Gold).
Training may be undertaken without it necessarily leading to one of the formal categories of engagement. For each category, the scope of the role is outlined, along with practicalities and training content. Depending on previous training and experience, students may choose to enter training at different levels. Those with little training or experience would begin at Saving Creation Bronze. Have a chat with your incumbent to help you figure out which is best for you.
