The Seventh Principle Project Green Sanctuary Program is a collection of effective strategies for maximizing the impact of a congregation on environmental challenges. It begins with an environmental audit. [.pdf file] As an aid to congregations that Wish to follow guidelines for development, and to provide some standardization for the use of the term Green Sanctuary, the Seventh Principle Project manages an accreditation program for recognized Green Sanctuary churches and fellowships who have undertaken the simple process. The first step for congregational leaders interested in the process is to understand and discuss the goals of the program. First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa voted in September, 2005, to undertake the process for becoming a Green Sanctuary Congregation.
