Talking Climate Justice Tour: Kew

As Christians we are called to challenge the injustice of the climate crisis. We know the next decade will be critical for us to act.

Every social movement started with conversations - these conversations stirred anger, fuelled hope and inspired people to act.

As the church, we need to have those honest conversations that spur us into action. We want to walk with you, to join these conversations and act together in the pursuit of climate justice.

Join us and:

• hear our great line up of church leaders and activists grapple with how the church can act in the coming decade
• get stuck into conversations for change
• find out how you and your church can be part of the Talking Climate Justice Tour
• get resources and information to get your church taking action for climate justice

Our conversationalists:

Melanie Nazareth: of Indian origin, born in Kenya, and spending much of her childhood in the Solomon Islands, Melanie has deep links to places experiencing the devastating effects of the climate crisis. This has fuelled a deepening commitment to working for climate justice. This journey has led her from a career as a lawyer to activism on the streets with Christian Climate Action and Extinction Rebellion.

Lydia Harrold: Having started in her teenage years focused on sustainable activism, and since taking part in Christian Aid’s Prophetic Activist Scheme Lydia has shifted to become a climate justice activist, focused on raising the level of understanding and action amongst her local community. Today through her friend and local church, Lydia focuses on building relationships with others to bring about change. Lydia believes that everyone can and must be part of building a more just world, and time is of the essence!

Rev Giles Fraser: is a Church of England priest, journalist and broadcaster. He is currently the parish priest at St Anne's Church Kew. He writes a weekly Saturday column for The Guardian, as well as appearing frequently on BBC Radio 4. He is a regular contributor on Thought for the Day and a panellist on The Moral Maze.
