I am excited about attending the COP22 meeting in Marrakesh, Morocco.

COP22 is an important meeting as we are faced with climate change and environmental crisis. Much needs to be done as religious groups and government bodies try to work towards climate justice. I am happy to be part of the World Council of Churches’ delegation to COP22. The World Council of Churches puts a high priority on the work of climate justice and creation care.

My new edited book, Making Peace with the Earth: Action and Advocacy for Climate Justice (WCC) is now available.

This project started 2 years at the World Council of Churches (WCC) working group on climate change in Germany. It appeared to be an easy enough project until I realize that having contributors around the world was going to be a challenge.

This difficult task of putting together a book with contributors from around the world was overcome by the wonderful help of the WCC editor, Michael West. To him I am greatly indebted.
