Wise men and women bearing gifts appear in a unique online calendar to bring Advent down to earth. They are clergy and conservationists – presenting specially written podcasts to promote prayer for the planet.
AUDIO CLIPS
Their ‘thought for the
day’-style audio clips can be found on A Rocha UK’s Hope for the world website. The aim of the calendar is to equip
and inform listeners about the United Nations climate change talks in Paris.
From 1st December, each day brings a
different message by such people as – Alpha pioneer Nicky Gumbel, TV presenter
Peter Owen-Jones, Christian Aid chief Loretta Minghella, botanist explorer Sir
Ghillean Prance and CAFOD director Chris Bain.
‘We have an amazing line-up of contributors. I’m excited about how this calendar can play a unique role in encouraging Christians to pray, reflect and act during the UN talks and the Advent season,’ said Churches And Theology Director Dr Valerio (pictured).
CLIMATE MARCH
Dr Valerio was speaking at the climate march
in London on 29th November. This will be part of a worldwide programme of
protest walks in major cities on the eve of the climate change talks, which run
from 30th November to 12th December.
And please pray for safety for all those
participating in the Climate marches. And for all those attending the Paris Summit.
The podcasts can be heard at http://advent.arocha.org.uk .
Enquirers don’t have to wait until December – they can register now for daily
notifications.
