Our ethos
At Hilfield we live with care of creation at the heart of our life and ministry. Our proclamation of the Gospel in word and the way we live involve radical choices. These include how we welcome people as brothers and sisters, and how we order our life mindful of the need to pay attention to all that is happening within and around our community. The ethos of sustainability affects how we maintain and heat our buildings, how we source and prepare the food we eat, the way we travel, how we care for gardens and animals. The underlying motivation is love—love of God who made all things and sustains life, and love of neighbor, both human and non-human.
