We need the Government to say no to this oil field, and we need YOU to tell them that.

Because...
Rosebank is a carbon bomb!
It would produce more CO2 than the annual emissions of the world’s 28 lowest-income countries combined, smashing through the UK’s climate targets.

If we have the courage to speak up, it can create a space where others can also speak up.

Listen to Rev Helen Burnett about what happened when she spoke up a few weeks ago.

We must speak out, we must act.

God so loves the world, we must stop crucifying it.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son” John 3:16

Yesterday we were at Farm Street Church reflecting.

Do we love the world that God loves so deeply?

Rev Bill White was one of four people who occupied the roof of Bath Abbey on 13th Sept to demand that the church 'Stop Crucifying Creation'. They hung a banner over the Abbey's tower.
Watch more on Youtube as Bill explains why he felt compelled to take such measures.

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.

Be courageous.

AXA are heavily involved in fossil fuels. From the Niger Delta to the Gulf Coast, AXA is insuring carbon bombs that will blow past every climate limit and set our world on fire. These projects poison rivers, displace families, kill forests and drive us closer to collapse.

Taking our message to the streets to tell the super rich, profiteers and polluters that their greed is killing humanity.
The fruits of the earth are given for benefit all. Justice demands that the poor, the vulnerable, the widow, the orphan receive their fair share.

"Four of us spent 5 hrs on the tower of the Cathedral. It's an act of desperation because the Church is failing us. The Church must find the courage to speak out against the forces that are causing the climate & nature emergency," Revrd James Grote at @wincathedral.bsky.social yesterday.

Dear Church. Yesterday, you welcomed us in Winchester, thanked us in Canterbury, but then had us arrested in Bath, dragged us out of Westminster. Today, you took our leaflets from the hands of the congregation going into St Paul's. Please, make up your mind. 🤔

From Exeter to Newcastle, Bath to Liverpool, vigils took place all day as part of our #DayOfNationalClimatePrayer to demand the Church of England finds its courage and speaks out against the main perpetrators of climate and ecological collapse: the fossil fuel industry, the media & our government.
