1. ‘Spiralling into Active Hope’: ACTinG workshop

St Paul’s Cathedral, Sale SATURDAY 8th November, 1–4pm (with a break for afternoon tea) Led by Cath Connelly and Jan Down

Come and explore with us the root cause of the inter-connected global crises: climate change; the pollution of oceans, soil and air; biodiversity loss and resource depletion. How we can respond as Christians? Where do we find hope for humanity and all creation? What spiritual insights and practices can help us to act in hope? And what can we do to make a difference? A dynamic and creative workshop led by Cath Connelly and Jan Down. Please email to let us know you are coming, or to find out more: acting@gippslandanglicans.org.au

2.

Here is a most encouraging online tool (SHIFT) that helps you find ways to take part in climate action that you may not have thought of. SHIFT stands for Super High-impact Initiative for Fixing Tomorrow. This guide takes you through a few questions to see where you can have the most impact. The focus is on the most effective actions within five ‘climate superpowers’ as a citizen, professional, investor, consumer, and role model.
