‘Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens’ (1). ‘Praise the Lord from the earth’ (7)…’kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and maidens, old men and children’ (11-12)… Let them praise the name of the Lord (13)
Psalm 148
In the past few months, WPC has been asking the Lord what we need to understand, and how to pray into and about the important issue of climate change as the date of the UN COP26 approaches. The issues are complex and are proving to be divisive within the body of Christ and in society and many nations. A wonderful relational unity has been developing between a number of organisations and networks in Glasgow, Scotland and across the UK, all with their different foci, to enable teaching to be accessed, prayer and worship mobilised so that we see God’s purposes and plans are delivered in the run up to, during and beyond the UN Climate Change conference 2021 (COP26) taking place in Glasgow from 31 Oct – 12 Nov 2021.
What is the Word of the Lord for COP26?
We have asked Peter Carruthers to offer his reflections and insights to help us as we pray to see His will be done and His Kingdom come. Read Peter Carruthers article.
