Climate Justice Walk - Henley - Saturday 6th November
A letter from Henley Quakers
Dear Friends in Churches Together in Henley,
If you are a supporter of Fairtrade, Christian Aid, Oxfam, UNICEF and many other charities and organisations it cannot have escaped your notice that they are all calling for results at COP26. In particular, they and people of all denominations and faiths are demanding Climate Justice for those countries suffering the worst effects of climate change.
Quakers believe our faith does not allow us to stand by and watch at this point of crisis for humanity and the living world. Rich countries like the U.K. have done the most to cause the climate crisis, and owe the rest of the world an immense ‘climate debt’.
It is for that reason we will be participating in the Global Day of Action for Climate Justice on Saturday 6th November, the mid-point in the COP26 summit. We will be joining Greener Henley and others in the town on a walk from the Meeting House, Northfield End (10.30 a.m.) to the area in front of St. Mary’s Church for a respectful silence for our planet and all that dwell on it at 11 a.m. We trust that those who are unable to walk will come direct to the church forecourt.
Henley Quakers hope that you will encourage everyone in your congregation to come with their friends and families and join us in solidarity with people all over the world who want fair solutions to this climate crisis.
In friendship,
Diana Barnett and Ruth Tod
