Joint Environmental Statement from the Pope and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of the Orthodox Church
Dear Friends
Not too many years ago it would have been hard to imagine a joint
environmental statement coming from the Pope and the leader of the Orthodox
Church. However, in an increasing age of interfaith cooperation, many are realizing
that global partnerships and increasing moral leadership for the environment
is one of the best hopes we have to move toward a more sustainable society.
Although words are not actions, they are a start and certainly more than governments gave us in Bali at the recent World Summit on Sustainable Development Prep-Com meeting.
Let's work together to build a stronger interfaith coalition for Global healing. Be Well, -- Dave
