The Climate Sunday Coalition Declared at the Conclusion of COP26, “We have Only Just Begun” and “Through Worship” we will work for Climate Justice

The Climate Sunday Coalition is an ecumenical initiative in the UK that calls on churches to conduct climate-focused Sunday worship services. They have more than 5,000 churches across denominational lines that have combined climate change activism with Sunday worship. On November 15, 2021, two days after the conclusion of COP26, the Climate Sunday Coalition released a statement saying that COP26 did not go far enough, so they are asking governments to show “moral leadership and take bolder action.” [1]

The Climate Sunday Coalition published the following statement after COP26:

• The Climate Sunday coalition urges the UK government to show moral leadership and to take bolder action at home on the climate crisis after COP26.
• While there have been some welcome agreements reached in Glasgow at COP26, the outcomes of the conference on the whole fell short of what was needed to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees.
• Churches have much to offer to address this challenge, and we must use all of our assets – buildings, land, local influence and national voice – to respond.
• Collectively, churches participating in Climate Sunday have accomplished much, but we have only just begun.”
• So many from the faith communities have joined together to create such a positive momentum for the care of our planet and its future. We pray that all agreements – and more – will be honored recognizing that in order to ensure a good tomorrow our work continues today with no room for procrastination”.
• While we called on leaders to achieve more through the Glasgow Climate Pact, we can all continue to seek transformational change at home and support climate justice globally.- Churches across Northern Ireland have really responded to the Climate Sunday initiative, but following COP26 there is much more to be done. We hope and pray that churches throughout the island of Ireland will see this as a springboard to continue to work for climate justice, through worship, through practical action, and calling on those in our governments to make the courage decisions we need to keep warming below 1.5C.

Can we not see what is unfolding before our eyes? The different churches are coming together to save the planet through Sunday worship, and they are calling on world leaders to take bolder action. This is Laudato Si’ in action. Climate activists have taken over our churches and are promoting Sunday worship as the response to the climate crisis. Who is behind this? And who is pulling the strings?

Rome is. Rome is behind the Climate Sunday Coalition. Not only is the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales part of the Climate Sunday Coalition [2], but this same Climate Sunday Coalition is openly promoting Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ and St. Francis of Assisi’s pantheistic canticle that praises “Lord Brother Sun, Sister Moon and Brother Wind.” [3] If the churches can convince politicians to embrace their radical climate agenda, we will soon see the demand for laws banning secular activities on Sunday and calling for Sunday rest.

The handwriting is on the wall. What more evidence do you need to wake up? At this very moment we must be giving the warning and sharing truth-filled literature like the Great Controversy and the National Sunday Law book, spreading them like the leaves of autumn. These books have the perfect title to counter the global Climate Sunday campaign. The third angel’s message will reveal to people where all these prophetic events will lead; and most importantly, prepare them for what is ahead. We are told by inspiration that if God’s people stay silent at a time like this, we will be held accountable:

“If they do nothing to disabuse the minds of the people, and through ignorance of the truth our legislatures should abjure the principles of Protestantism, and give countenance and support to the Roman fallacy, the spurious sabbath, God will hold his people who have had great light, responsible for their lack of diligence and faithfulness” (Review and Herald, December 24, 1889).
