Copenhagen - Nordic Churhces together


Today and tomorrow representatives from different Nordic churches will meet in Copenhagen to look at what we can do together as churches in a Nordic context on issues like climate change and sustainable development.
Hopefully this will be a much more fruitful meeting then the UNFCCC meeting December 2009.
I think it is great that we as faith communities are reflecting over why this is a subject that is a part of our identity as churches and at the same time thinking of what we can do on a practical level.
To come somewhere with the huge assignment we have to change from an unsustainable and unfair world order to a efficient, sustainable and more fair world we need to look at our values, at our spiritualities. We also have to walk the talk. To pray and act at the same time!
So let´s hope for a small Nordic Ecumenical step towards a greater engagement of the faith communities.
