Climate Justice Working Group — June 8, 2022
Thank you to all synods who have responded to our recent planning update. We are delighted with the enthusiasm shown by Te Haahi for the initiatives suggested.
Planning continues, but this is a quick update to advise of a change of date for GREEN SUNDAY. Several synods pointed out that the first Sunday in September is Father’s Day so we are changing the date to the last Sunday of September (25 September in 2022) which is still within the Season of Creation. We will be supplying resources to help parishes observe this special day.
You are encouraged to check out the Climate Justice information on the MCNZ website. Go to https://methodist.org.nz/climate-justice
And, stand by for further information coming to August synods including a Conference recommendation about a 10 year focus on Climate Justice from 2023.
