Sacred Land links
The Sacred Land Project was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury in April 1997 with the aim of reviving and creating sacred sites in Britain and overseas. It is about reminding people that the landscape where they live can be as sacred as any holy land.
The key to the Sacred Land Project's success was its mission to work with groups, not individuals, on projects that are open to the public. It was WWF’s major religious undertaking in Britain and has the backing of the principal churches, conservation and environmental organisations, and the major faiths practised in Britain.
Sacred Land has led to hundreds of projects run by faith groups along this model - some of which we know about, many of which we will never hear about.
For ARC the project has moved to become a Sacred Sites Programme, with the intention of making the term "sacred site" an internationally recognised term, conferring protection by national governments and others.
