Today (1st September 2025) Christian Climate Action has launched a document calling for radical change within the Church of England to protect creation in the face of climate breakdown.
The document is being sent to hundreds of people within the Church of England and can also be downloaded here.
Stop Crucifying Creation calls on the church to:
- Find its courage, so that it can speak out prophetically and persistently about climate change and start taking radical nonviolent action following the example of Jesus, to protect life on earth.
- Cease doing harm to the planet through its own activities and expose the vested interests that fuel the climate and nature crisis.
- Return to its roots of prayer, confession and building loving community as we face climate breakdown.
CCA believes that, together, we can change things and bring hope during this time of planetary crisis.
The document urges those who read it to contact Christian Climate Action, corporately and individually, to explore ways in which we can work together, alongside other climate advocates, to revolutionise the Church’s response to the Climate and Nature Crisis.
A Christian Climate Action spokesperson said:
‘Our planet is in crisis. God’s Creation, our wonderful Earth, is under threat due to escalating climate change and the widespread destruction of nature. We urge everyone in the Church of England to read this vision document which outlines the transformation needed within our national church to meet the enormous challenges caused by this existential threat.
‘We want to acknowledge the many unseen climate and nature champions who are working tirelessly across Church of England dioceses to mitigate the impacts of the crisis. This is despite the huge pressures many parishes face. This vision document is offered to all in love, solidarity and prayer. We are calling on the church to return to its roots and step up further to the challenge of tackling the most urgent issue creation faces: climate breakdown.’
Christian Climate Action held a National Day of Climate Prayer on Sunday 14th September, calling on the church to mark the launch of the document.
