Recharge your car along with your soul: GreenFaith comes to Morristown churches

[Morristowngreen.com] Pretty soon, visitors to Morristown’s Episcopal Church of the Redeemer may be recharging their cars along with their souls.

A free charging station for electric vehicles–believed to be the first in town–is coming to the church driveway within a few weeks, said the Revd Cynthia Black, the church’s rector.

The idea evolved from Redeemer’s participation in a two-year program run by GreenFaith, an interfaith coalition that helps houses of worship set an environmental example, through energy conservation and public outreach.

Redeemer will celebrate its completion of the program at its worship service on Feb. 9, 2014. The achievement inspired the Bethel A.M.E. Church and the Presbyterian Church in Morristown to pursue GreenFaith certification together.

When those congregations complete the course of webinars, energy audits and action plans, Morristown will be the nation’s only community with three churches certified by GreenFaith, according to the Revd Fletcher Harper, executive director of the Highland Park nonprofit.
