Blog Action Day 2009 — Climate Change

Today is Blog Action Day 2009, and this year people from all around the world are using their blogs to talk about Climate Change in some way. It’s a great idea, and a super way to raise awareness. The issues around climate change are things we really do need to become more aware of.

As I generally post a video of some sort on a Thursday, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share a related one from Dr Rowan Williams — the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Here the Archbishop of Canterbury shares concerns for our planet in the new Ready Steady Slow video-cast encouraging us to sign up in advance, by email, to the Church of England’s environmentally-themed on-line Advent calendar for 2009, containing daily green challenges and thoughts. Dr Williams encourages a “response to Gods hope for us”, and teaches that “God creates us so we may be part of his creation — not something separate, not some alien power manipulating it to our own ends, but part of a creation working together harmoniously.
