A call to ecological conversion: Cry of the Earth webinar

Cry of the Earth Ecology Webinar

Thursday 28th January 2021 from 2pm

With a growing sense of urgency about the need to care for our common home and following on from last year's cancelled Laudato Si' reflection days, we've organised a Webinar on January 28th, to which all Religious & lay associates are invited.

Guest speakers are Sr Sheila Kinsey FCJM, Bishop John Arnold and Dr Carmody Grey 

Five years ago Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’: On the Care for Our Common Home, was published. The document called on the entire global community to recognize how every person is connected and dependent on one another, as well as on the world in which we all live.  Recently, during an audience with a group of ecological experts, Pope Francis welcomed the fact that “the issue of ecology is increasingly permeating the ways of thinking at all levels and is beginning to influence political and economic choices, even if much remains to be done and even if we are still witnessing too slow and even backward steps.”

We're aiming to make the environment a key theme in 2021 so that the Religious of England and Wales can lend their voice to this most pressing issue, especially as the UK is hosting the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference.
