- Contacts and Internet Resources
- Contacts: If you would like more information about the Central Green Initiative, please contact Bill Templeton, Peter Von Stein or Paul Barlow on Sundays or by leaving a message with the Church staff (401-331-1960).
- Internet Resources: There are numerous secular and religious organizations that host web sites that provide information on global warming, clean energy, the environment, and the role of religious communities in environmental issues. We’ve tried to identify a few sites that we feel provide practical information and inspiration to members of the Congregation.
