Christians from across the country are being encouraged to attend ‘The Big One’, a peaceful and lawful climate protest event in London on 21 April 2023.
Bishops Rachel and Robert said ‘This will bring together people from diverse backgrounds and organisations including Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Tearfund, Christian Climate Action, CAFOD, and AROCHA to underline the need for urgent action in the face of the crisis confronting us.’
“Our prayer is that this gathering will fulfil its aim of being a peaceful call to action and we are grateful for the cooperation of the Metropolitan Police in enabling this to happen.”
The Church of England and the Diocese of Gloucester are aiming to become net zero carbon by 2030, two decades ahead of the government’s 2050 net zero carbon goal.
Diocesan Environmental Engagement Officer, Cate Williams blogs about why the event is so important and why she is planning to go herself.
