Faith Communities involved in Climate Change Conversation

Bishop Geoff Davies is at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Durban, South Africa (COP17). He was interviewed by OneClimate.net, who are reporting live from Durban during COP17.   Bishop Davies relates the need for action on climate change and the economic resistance to abolishing slavery in England and Apartheid in South Africa.

Here are some other really powerful quotes from Bishop Davies:
We believe in life before death.

Christians should worry less about getting to heaven and more about climate crisis on earth

We have been tasked by God to look after this creation and to look after one another on this creation.

Destruction of creation is a sin against God and crime against humanity.

Listen to this powerful call to action of the Faith Community by Bishop Davies.

Peace, Jon

In your mind, what is the most important thing (or lack of) coming out of the international negotiations in Durban?
