- Notes
- "In the wake of the climate change agreement reached in Paris December 12 [2015], Anglican and ecumenical leaders in Canada say they're looking to the future with new hope -- as well as concern that the deal will be translated into action. While in action to meet Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, travelled by train to Paris to take part in a special climate change-themed ecumenical service. The occasion gave him a change to talk with people involved in the Paris conference, he said, and hope was a big theme of these discussions" (p. 1). "In Paris on behalf of the Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) was Joy Kennedy, chair of the CCC's commission on justice and peace" (p. 7). "In each country, the onus may be on people and organizations to keep up the pressure to make sure their leaders stay on track, Thompson [Henriette Thompson, director, public witness for social and ecological justice, Anglican Church of Canada] said. It may also require some personal sacrifices, and one important role for the church in the time to come, she said, will be to allay people's anxiety, 'especially as members of our own church in Canada will be suffering directly the economic impact in the form of the loss of jobs' that is likely to follow in this country's energy sector" (p. 7).
