Join Cornwall Friends as they hold world leaders in the light

Quakers in Cornwall are planning three outdoor meetings for worship on 11, 12 and 13 June in Falmouth from 12–1pm each day. All welcome. You can find out more details in the Quakers G7 in Cornwall Facebook group, including details of where to meet and who to contact if you want to join.
 
For those who want to join but can’t make it to Carbis Bay, you can attend an online meeting for worship being hosted by Devon Friends on Saturday to uphold Cornish Friends. The Zoom room will open on Saturday 12 June at 11:45am. Click this link to join. Meeting ID: 890 5573 3851 Passcode: CarbisBay.
 
Alternatively, you might like to sit at the same time as any of the outdoor meetings for worship to uphold Friends in Cornwall, and hold the G7 leaders in the Light as we hope for a good outcome from the summit.

Share our letter from faith leaders to the Prime Minister

Along with dozens of other faith leaders, Quakers in Britain have written to the Prime Minister to ask him to use the UK’s Presidency of the G7 Summit to drive real progress. “As people of faith, we cannot stand by while world leaders continue to delay action. These delays, on phasing out support for fossil fuels and on addressing climate impacts, are destroying lives. From the Pacific islands to sub-Saharan Africa, from Bangladesh to Brazil, the climate crisis is a present reality for the world’s poorest people. They have little power to tackle this catastrophe which they did not cause. We ask you, who do have power, to use the UK’s G7 and COP Presidency in their interests.” Read the letter in full and see the list of signatories here.

Help us share the letter even further on social media. We’ve tweeted about it here if you’d like to re-tweet or write your own post. You can also write your own postcard to the Prime Minister by joining this postcard action our interfaith partners in the Make COP Count group have organised.
