The Christian Census on Climate Change

A Catholic group from the North East has launched a “Christian Census on Climate Change.” The initiative is intended to allow Christians from all denominations to voice their opinions and produce lasting data for discussion. From a Christian viewpoint, do people think climate change is of little importance and untouchable, or is it something that needs to be tackled from both a scientific and moral perspective?

They would love to have your views.

They would like as many people as possible from as many churches as possible to complete the census and email or post it back to them. For efficiency, they would suggest that one person per church become the ‘messenger’ and promote the census to the rest of the congregation. They then receive and return completed questionnaires to the group.

The deadline for completing the census is the end of March 2012. Results of the census will be released at a special ecumenical service in York Minster on Saturday 21st April. The service will be led by Archbishop Sentamu, Bishop Terence Drainey and northern leaders of other denominations.
