Christian Aid - Bearing Witness - Day Of Action & Prayer On Climate Change


News from Christian Aid:

Bearing Witness - Day Of Action & Prayer On Climate Change, Manchester, Saturday 1st October, 12 – 7.30pm

On the eve of the Conservative Party conference, hundreds of supporters of Christian Aid, Cafod and Tearfund – along with other SCC charities – will be travelling to Manchester to take part in an inspiring day of campaigning and worship on the issues of climate change and global poverty.

We will:

  • learn from overseas partners who are living on the frontline of climate change, 
  • worship together at a special ecumenical service in the Anglican cathedral, 
  • form a procession through the city to speak out for the world’s poor, who are already suffering first and worst from the effects of a changing climate, and
  • call on our government to honour their promise to be the ‘greenest government ever’ and take strong action on tackling climate change.

Come and join us! For more details, contact Christian Aid on 0207 523 2264 or register online at http://www.christianaid.org.uk/bearingwitness

If you would like to travel down with our staff team leaving from Glasgow on the day, do contact dgreen@christian-aid.org who can make arrangements.  They are hoping to travel by train, on the day itself and have lunch together.  They would very much like to have you along with them.
