The Climate Crisis is an International Crisis: How can Christians help?

Clare and Aidan Baker from Global Justice Cambridge and Elisabeth Burleigh from Fairtrade Cambridgeshire will speak about their campaigning issues. They will raise the issue of Christians’ responsibility towards the environment and future generations and specifically talk about the theme of trade – Christian responsibility to trade fairly, looking at the Fairtrade initiative and its links to climate – and also the role that Christians are taking in campaigning against the system of ‘corporate courts’ that can allow overseas investors to stop governments taking climate action.  Many countries in the Global South have been targeted, but now the UK government is being sued over blocking a new coal mine in Cumbria.

This talk is part of the Autumn programme of talks and recitals at St Augustine’s church, supported by the local Roads’ Associations (Windsor, Richmond, Oxford and Benson Area). A complimentary glass of wine or fruit juice and nibbles are served at most events. Retiring collection.

The September talks will focus on aspects of Creation science and Christian responsibility and October’s themes celebrate Black History month. You can view the full programme HERE or pick up a leaflet in one of our churches.
