The Wave was a Great Sucess

Thank you all very much for your support of The Wave!

The ecumenical service beforehand went well, and we are very grateful to Bill Hewitt, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, David Chillingworth, Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church and Kathy Galloway, Head of Christian Aid Scotland, for their participation in the service, as well as all of you who came along to it! The march through Glasgow was attended by appr. 7000 people – many thanks to all who were there!

More information can be found at the BBC news website. Together with other marches all around Europe, this should have given a good sign to those assembling in Copenhagen. Reports from the summit can be followed at the Oddysey network website.

The Wave

On Saturday the 5th of December people from across Scotland will come to Glasgow to send a claer message about climate change to world leaders assembled at the UN Climate Change conference in Copenhagen.

The Wave will be a fun, family-friendly march in Glasgow city centre, where a diverse range of people will come together to show their concern about climate change. Similar demonstrations will be taking place across the world at this time. In order to demonstrate that this issue is important to Scotland, we need as many people as possible to turn out on the streets of Glasgow on December 5th. The event is organised by Stop Climate Change Chaos Scotland, a coalition of 60 organisations campaigning on climate change.

Eco-Congregations in Scotland have a key role to play in The Wave. As well as coming to the event, you can spread the word to your networks and contacts to help ensure that as many people as possible congregate in Glasgow.

The time, start-point, transport details etc will be confirmed nearer the time. For more information see The Wave.
