Climate Change: The Agenda for Mission Today
Price: £6.00 inc P&P
Contains papers and reports presented in 2007 at a Columban international conference in the Philippines on climate change.
Columbans in Peru reported that an area of rainforest the size of 43 soccer pitches disappears in the Peruvian Amazon every 90 minutes and that 22 percent of Peru’s tropical glaciers have melted in the past 25 years. Columbans in Pakistan reported that flash floods in June 2007 displaced two million people after unusually heavy rain. In a statement from Manila, Columban JPIC representatives, including Fr Peter Hughes and Ellen Teague from Britain, said that “the endangered Earth demands a new prophetic way of being missionaries”.
