Gosh I am so bad at blogging. But I thought this warranted a post.

I spent yesterday afternoon with some lovely ladies from Climate Rush and Good Stewards making valentines cards to send to bishops, asking them to stop the Church of England from investing in oil. Last year, the Church of England held shares in oil companies including Shell and BP worth £170.8 million. I was pretty shocked to find this out.

We are asking the church commissioners to ‘love your global neighbour’ and help protect people in developing countries who contribute the least to climate change and suffer the most, by disinvesting in oil. Read more about the campaign here: http://goodsteward.org.uk/

Those are some lucky bishops who are going to receive my incredibly artistic high quality cards (see above).
