July 09 Newsletter
Welcome to the July edition of Creation Challenge!
My sincere apologies that we missed the April edition, the only excuse I can offer is that I moved pastorates in April.
So as we continue into Summer, with its apparently random mix of sunshine and showers, let us give mind to the events that are coming up this autumn and the roles that we can play both locally, nationally and internationally, in acting for change and doing our part in living it out.
The Impact of Climate Change & our response – The United Reformed Church is hosting a day exploring the joint URC and Methodist report on climate change theology: ‘Hope in God’s Future’ on Wednesday 4th November at Carrs Lane URC, Birmingham.
This summer this major report will be launched via the Creation Challenge website and will include a revamp of the site.
The report was debated at the Methodist conference and is to be to be debated further in circuits and districts with a view to it becoming a Statement of Conference in 2011. Hope in God’s Future debate at Methodist Conference – July 2009
The network exists to support the work of individuals and churches throughout our denominations so please share any news, tips, experiences or questions that you have where churches’ and your own engagement with the environment are concerned.
Best wishes,
Dave Coaker
Creation Challenge, Coordinator
