Those of you who came to our Evening of Hope for the Planet will recall that we spoke briefly about the young Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg. She is now engaged in a European wide tour and you can watch her recent speech to a packed European Parliament here.

Perhaps it’s an exaggeration to call her a prophet for our time… But we should remember that God chooses the most unlikely people to be prophets. After all, as one of the scribes or Pharisees said somewhere: ‘What good ever came out of Nazareth?’

More than thirty people participated in our Evening of Hope for the Planet, which took place on Sunday 7 April. We had extracts from the film Demain, a talk on Pope Francis Encyclical Laudato Si and suggestions for practical action.

Fr Ed then made Hope for the Planet and the life of St Francis a theme of his Sunday evening Mass.

You can read a full report of the evening on the Laudato Si page of this website.
