Pilgrimage2Paris Countdown

At the end of November, world leaders will meet at the UN climate talks in Paris. It’s a crucial moment, as negotiators from more than 190 nations will gather to discuss a new global agreement on climate change aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 when current commitments run out.

Inspired by their faith, pilgrims from across the UK will come together to call on world leaders to agree a fair, ambitious and binding climate change deal in Paris.

The Church of England, Christian Aid, CAFOD and Tearfund have come together to organise a Pilgrimage2Paris ahead of the UN talks. The pilgrimage will start in London on Friday 13 November with a service at St Martin-in-the-Fields, and arrive in Paris on Friday 27 November.

Kevin and Ros have been training for the last few months to take part in the Pilgrimage and are grateful to the members of Matson Baptist Church for releasing them for the 2 weeks needed to walk the 250 miles.  They feel it is important to witness to God’s love and concern for the Earth, humanity and all living creatures in this way, and see it as an opportunity to join with others to pray, intercede, worship, and peacefully demonstrate during this prophetic journey.
