....who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator,... Romans 1:25
"Marking the first day of the Season of Creation, Pope Francis alongside Patriarch Bartholomew of the Eastern Orthodox Church offered a veiled criticism of Donald Trump pulling out of the Paris climate change agreement as they begged world leaders to tackle the 'tragic
and lasting' effects of climate change.
'We are convinced that there can be no sincere and enduring resolution to the challenge of the ecological crisis and climate change unless the response is concerted and collective, unless the responsibility is shared and accountable, unless we give priority to solidarity and service.'
Next week the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury will hold an online prayer service for the environment amid hundreds of different events around the world from New Zealand to Nigeria and Uganda to the USA.
Advocates say this year's Season of Creation has 'extra significance' because it is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation – the most significant split in Christian history.
A statement from the Global Catholic Climate Movement read: 'The 500th anniversary of the Reformation is an occasion to reflect on the values shared by all Christians, and care for our common home is a prominent shared value.
'Additionally, decisions in the United States to pull out of the Paris climate treaty and to roll back environmental protections, including major climate regulations, contradict the message of environmental stewardship embraced by the united Christian family.'" CT
