With less than 40 days to go before the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit, representatives of several faiths present in the UK got together at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury on 29 October at Lambeth Palace. In the first statement of its kind, signed by leaders from every faith community (including Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Baha'i, Jain and Zoastrian) the signatories recognise "unequivocally that there is a moral imperative to tackle the causes of global warming" and that "Faith communities have a crucial role to play in pressing for changes in behaviour at every level of society and in every economic sector. We all have a responsibility to learn how to live and develop sustainably in a world of finite resources".

God willing we can all reflect on that, that God has given us so many blessings, but also a duty to behave responsibly in using those blessings and sharing them equitably (with all our brothers and sisters in the current generations, but also our brothers and sisters in time, those after us, who have just as much right to God's blessings/ Creation as us).
