Christian Census on Climate Change
Saturday, 4th February 2012
A group from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough has launched the Christian Census on Climate Change to allow Christians from all denominations across the country to voice their opinions and produce lasting data for discussion.
From a Christian viewpoint, do people think that climate change is of little importance and untouchable, or is it something that needs to be tackled from both a scientific and moral perspective? We would love to have your views. For churches who would like to take action in the wake of the UN climate talks in Durban, the census is an ideal way to get congregations talking.
The deadline for completing the census is the end of March 2012. Results of the census will be released at a special event in York Minster on Saturday 21st April.
The morning service will be led by Archbishop Sentamu, Roman Catholic Bishop Terence Drainey, The Revd Stephen Burgess (Chair of York and Hull Methodists), and leaders of other denominations. The afternoon will offer workshops on climate change and how congregations can become more environmentally sustainable.
