Christians to lead 'funeral march' over climate change

http://ekklesia.co.uk/node/8994

Christians from across the country will gather in Coventry today (Thursday), for a national Climate Change Day of Action, which will include a funeral procession through the City.

The day will begin with a midday service in Coventry Cathedral, followed by a march and rally in the city centre.

The Day of Action is being organised by Christian Aid in partnership with CAFOD, the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition and the World Development Movement. Campaigners are calling on the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown and other world leaders to ensure that the plight of the world's poorest countries is central to crucial climate change talks taking place in Copenhagen, Denmark in December.
