On Sunday 5th March Holly-Anna Petersen spoke on the theme of including our global climate neighbours. As part of this she brought our attention to an upcoming climate protest called The Big One, which is taking place from the 21st to the 24th April.
The Big One is taking place outside of Parliament and is set to be the biggest climate protest, with 100,000 people uniting together.
The protest is set to have people of different denominations there - Churches are coming, Bishops, families and friends. There is also a whole host of Christian charities going, including Christian Aid, CAFOD, Tearfund, Young Christian Climate Network, Student Christian Movement, Green Christian, Operation Noah, Just Love and more. There will be time for prayerful protest, worship and pilgrimage.
You can find out more about The Big One HERE.
CCA is holding worship led by different groups over the four days at noon and 3pm, and on Sunday 23 April our service will be at the protest as arranged with our vicar and the churchwardens. Beginning at 12 noon and led by young people whose future is in the balance. (We'll have more details on where we'll meet etc. closer to the time.)
