Climate change rally in Trafalgar Square, 4 November

Climate change rally in Trafalgar Square, 4 November

How should the emerging church respond to the prospect of ‘large scale ecosystem collapse’?

The EC in the UK should gather with the Stop Climate Chaos coalition in London on Saturday 4 November, for a rally ahead of the UN conference on climate change taking place in Nairobi, 6-17 November.

There will be a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields 12.30 - 13.30. The rally takes place in Trafalgar Square 14.00 - 15.00.

However, this comes with a health warning: climate change could become Tony Blair’s last bid to save the universe before bowing out of office next year, and could also become Gordon Brown’s next ‘big thing’ as an indirect way of plugging Britain’s ballooning revenue deficit.

Shouldn’t be a problem to the left of centre emerging church though - which like all other brands of church, should stand up and be counted on this issue over which the future of the planet, especially the 2/3 sector of the planet, is at stake.

My daughter tells me I should be there, so I will probably travel up with her.
