The Right Reverend Tom Wilmot, Assistant Bishop of Perth and Member of the Anglican Environment Network, has issued a passionate call for Anglicans to take three steps around Climate Change in the lead up to 2015 UN Climate Conference in Paris (Paris COP21).

 

MAKE PILGRIMAGE

Bishop Tom asks Anglicans to wear purple, carry a banner and join the Global People’s Climate March on Sunday 29 November to “show that the world is our home and we don’t have a planet B”.

 

PRAYER

On Sunday 29 November he suggests a prayer and liturgical focus on climate justice.
