Haltern, Germany

We have ecumenical links with the Church of Christ the Redeemer in Haltern, Germany. Our annual exchange visits are much appreciated by both communities.

In 2010 our friends from Haltern visited us between Thursday 3rd and Sunday 6th June. Read more and view the photos....

Visions of a Green Community/City

On Saturday 29th October 2011 nearly 40 people from across Norwich gathered together at St. Thomas’ Church Hall for a screening of The Urbal Fix, a film which explores ways to respond to climate change and peak oil and transform our cities into greener, pleasanter places to live.

Although the film uses Leeds as its example, the problems and solutions described were easy to relate to Norwich and were clearly presented by Tom Bliss, who wrote and produced the film.

Suggested solutions included the creation of community gardens and other public green spaces, green corridors to link these together, the use of buildings to generate renewable energy, local food production and distribution and smarter town planning and building. By the end we were feeling energised and keen to do more.

Many different initiatives are taking place in Norwich, many as part of Transition Norwich, and one positive outcome of our meeting would be to find ways to link together these initiatives and make it easier for individuals and groups to share ideas, learn from each others’ experiences and find the best ways to make changes happen.

The evening was hosted by Rev. Philip Young as part of One World week. As well as watching the film we had a series of discussions and shared a selection of delicious desserts. Many of those of us who attended the meeting then passed on our contact details to Philip, who will host a follow-up meeting in the near future.

If you weren’t able to make the meeting you can view the film here. If you would like to take part in further meetings, please contact Philip on Norwich 624390 or via our contact form.
