Our first Climate and Environmental Justice gathering was held on Wednesday the 29th July. The conversations were energising and many connections were made.
Here is what some participants have said:
- “I am encouraged by the commitment of many across Australia seeking to developing resources to engage and empower the people across our churches for action, wider engagement within Australia and with our Pacific neighbours. I have learned a lot, thank you all.”
- “Thanks to the organisers for a process that generated a lot of energy and connection. I've learnt of resources and events I hadn't known of, made connections with a few people, and looking forward to following up on these. God bless us in our care and relationship with this wonderful planet on which we live. Peace and Good!”
- “It was wonderful to hear what is happening across the nation and across the seas. Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on the key issues, the opportunities for change, and how best to influence decision makers.”
*St John’s Cathedral and the "Doing Justice" team at the Anglican Church of Southern Queensland, are assisting the NCCA to host these events. They received a small grant from the Glenburnie Program fund ( https://www.ncca.org.au/about/ecumenical/item/178-glenburnie-programme ) for work on these matters.
