As the Season of Creation begins, we join in the worldwide prayers to ‘let justice and peace flow’! We lament the recent climate disasters and pray for all who suffer. We ask for justice for those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis and yet are suffering some of its worst impacts […]
As we prepare for the Season of Creation, we look around our world and see what UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called the ‘era of global boiling’.

‘The heat is on’ as countries around the world experience record-breaking temperatures, while negotiators struggle to make progress in the UN climate talks.

There’s inspiration, too, from Ghana, the Anglican Communion, and relating to the rise of renewables. Join […]
Lent is approaching, and we consider how we can use the time to listen to creation and discern God’s call to us. February also brings the 1st anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and we pray for a just peace, and for a resolution to the many issues the war has caused. We celebrate Fairtrade, […]
As Advent begins, we look back at the outcomes of the recent UN climate talks – and forward to the biodiversity talks in Montreal. Conscious of climate impacts affecting brothers and sisters around the world, we pray for increased action and ambition. Download the December Prayer Points
