Join us as we pray and ask the new Archbishop of Canterbury to take on board our Stop Crucifying Creation campaign.
What can you do?
- Firstly, join in our digital action by writing to Archbishop Sarah asking her to read the vision document, and lead the Church in taking action on its propositions. It’s really simple, just click here to send a template letter that you can personalise as you want.
- Secondly, on Passion Sunday (22nd March) we will be gathering on her pilgrimage route to Canterbury Cathedral in the afternoon to pray and hand out bookmarks displaying a cross covered with climate impacts and potential solutions, and a link to the Stop Crucifying Creation vision document, please join us if you can.
- Thirdly, on Wednesday 25th March, a group of CCA’ers will be meeting in the streets of Canterbury when the Archbishop is installed at the Cathedral on the Feast of the Annunciation, to hand out flyers and speak to people in the crowd.
If you’d like to join the prayer vigil on the Sunday, or the public outreach on the Wednesday, please let us know by emailing christianclimateaction@gmail.com
Our Stop Crucifying Creation document calls on the Church of England to speak out persistently against the forces driving the Climate and Nature Emergency, take practical steps to protect Creation, and build a loving community which cares for people suffering in this crisis.
Christian Climate Action has written to Archbishop Sarah urging her to prioritise the Climate and Nature during her leadership and to speak about the urgency of the crisis during her inaugural sermon at the installation service.
We’ve also written to both Archbishops and Bishop Graham Usher, the church’s environment lead, urging them to call on the Government to refuse the Rosebank oilfield, as part of this campaign. The North Sea oilfield would produce the same annual emissions as the world’s poorest 28 countries, and a decision is expected on the proposals any day.
