Ash Wednesday Climate Justice Forum

December 16, 2015

Wednesday 10th February, 2016
Melbourne, Australia

 

Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people.
(Joel 2.15-16)

The Ash Wednesday Climate Justice Forum is a gathering of Anglicans from throughout Australia and our Region to discuss how the Anglican Church is responding to the challenges of climate change.

Parts of the Anglican Church are already confronting people forced to leave their homes, food and water shortages, and increased risk from natural disasters. Other parts of the church are working to increase awareness and understanding of climate change in order to build consensus for a shared response.

The Ash Wednesday Climate Justice Forum will be facilitated by the Anglican Alliance. Outcomes from the forum will be directed to the 2016 meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council.

This is an invitation to anyone interested in the conversation about Climate Justice who is connected with the Anglican Church. We are particularly seeking to gather people involved with Social Responsibilities groups and anyone active around issues of public theology within their diocese or local mission context.
