Climate change is not an environmental issue. It is a threat multiplier that disproportionately affects the poor and vulnerable, and therefore, taking action is part of living into the Gospel. Everyone is welcome to join in our monthly Climate Conversations on ZOOM where we discuss what is on our hearts and learn from each other. Conversations have focused on topics such as calculating carbon footprints, investing in a fossil-free future, emerging technologies, and the moral and spiritual questions posed by the climate crisis.

Contact Peter Jones (pjones2570@gmail.com) for further information and to join the conversation.

If you are interested in helping with this, please contact Jo-anne at: jtobeyfisher@hotmail.com.
