Ecumenical Course on Climate Change in Nyborg
Posted on Friday 8th August, 2008
From the 31st of October to the 1st of November the Danish ecumenical organisation, the Danish Council of Churches, will be holding its annual autumn conference. This year the theme is climate change and the church’s role. The conference is of special interest to Anglicans because the authors of the books ‘How Many Light Bulbs Does It Take to Change a Christian?’ and ‘Don’t Stop at the Lights’, David Shreeve and Claire Foster, will be participating with input and inspiration on behalf of the Church of England.

David Shreeve and Claire Foster at St. Alban’s
After their visit to Nyborg, on Sunday the 2nd of November, David Shreeve and Claire Foster will be coming to St. Albans to talk about the Anglican Church’s green initiative, the Shrinking the Footprint Campaign; they will be leading prayers and be available to answer any questions the congregation might have about environmental issues seen from the Christian perspective.
We hope that you will come to the service to welcome David Shreeve and Claire Foster and take the opportunity to hear them speak.
Kind regards
The Environmental Task Force.
