About St Ethelburga’s Centre:

Bridging divides, loving Earth

St Ethelburga’s work sits at the intersection of climate and peace. We believe there can be no peace on Earth unless we also realise peace with Earth. We offer events, training, leadership programmes and multimedia content which equip and inspire people to become peacemakers in their own contexts. Our project areas include spiritual ecology, community reconciliation, refugee inclusion, radical resilience, viewpoint diversity.

Set in a medieval church in the heart of the City of London, St Ethelburga’s is a unique place to work. Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, rebuilt as a centre for reconciliation and peace in 2003, St Ethelburga’s is a symbol of renewal in times of crisis.
