20th September 2019 - CLIMATE STRIKE

18 Sep 2019 by Janise Wood in: Dates, Events and Publications

We are concerned with the basic human rights of future generations and will urge the wise use of energy, the protection of the environment and the replenishment of the earth’s resources for their use and enjoyment.
Uniting Church Statement to the Nation, 1977

The Synod of NSW and the ACT is encouraging all Uniting Church members to support the student led, Global Climate Strike on Friday, September 20.

We need to listen and learn from young people. It’s their future that is at stake and their protests are genuine and informed and should not be ignored….They reflect the truth of God’s calling for us to be carers of the creation.
The Moderator, Rev Simon Hansford
