Counting on … day 1.125

13th July 2023

Sometimes change happens at speed. A tipping point is reached and everything accelerates. On Monday I reported on being at York where General Synod has received a report from their national investment body explaining their decision to divest from fossil fuels. Over the weekend the Diocese of York announced that it too had decided to divest from fossil fuels. Yesterday the Diocese of Southwark decided to follow the same course of action.

Can we ensure this rapid and increasing desire to take action to safeguard the environment from the worsening effects of the climate crisis will continue?
We can pray. We can talk about the issue and continue to raise awareness about the extent and urgency of the crisis. We can be motivated to make changes in our own lifestyles.
