“Press release: Christians pray and march together to urge that it is time to act on climate change”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Christian environment charity, Operation Noah<\/b>, will be hosting an ecumenical climate service before the \u2018Time to Act\u2019 national climate march this Saturday, 7 March, at St Mary le Strand Church, starting at 11.30am. As party leaders make pledges to tackle climate change ahead of the election in May, civil society \u2013 including the Christian community \u2013 is marching to demand action not words. They will be joined at the climate service by longstanding peace activist Scott Albrecht of the Catholic Worker Farm, who will share his insights into what we can learn from the Christian peace movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott has said, \u2018The powerful are only beginning to accept the reality of climate change and still doing too little too late. We have a responsibility, given to humanity by the Creator, and that is to tend to the Earth like one would to one\u2019s own Mother; for indeed it is. She has treated us with kindness for aeons: feeding us, clothing us and providing for our every need. We need to develop a relationship of mutuality, love and respect and nurse her back to health!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Westley Ingram, one of the organisers of the service, adds, \u2018The Church says it is the community devoted to changing its ways. What does it mean for the Christian community to act faithfully as we watch the devastation of God\u2019s beloved creation? Since \u201cPeace on Earth\u201d must be our call for this election season, perhaps we can learn something from the example of the Christian peace movement.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

After the service, the congregation will join other faith groups to march through London as a multi-faith block.<\/span><\/p>\n
