6 January 2020

Today, 20 UK churches, dioceses, religious orders and Christian institutions announce their divestment from fossil fuels. They join the growing ‘Fossil Free’ divestment movement, where faith institutions make up 29% of divesting organisations – the greatest proportion of divestment commitments globally. The global total of assets under management of divesting institutions has now surpassed $12 trillion.

I call myself a Christian because I am in love with the character of our Christ. I am captivated by Jesus’ gritty drive for righteousness, which led him to prophetically call out the powers of the time – an act which he knew would ultimately lead to not only his arrest but his execution. I love that this sets the challenge in my day to day of how I can be deeper and braver in how I love.

Musica Antica Rotherhithe are holding a concert to benefit Operation Noah this February.

The ensemble will give Falvetti’s Diluvio Universale its UK premiere. With anthropomorphised elements competing over the right to end mankind and a gleeful Grim Reaper eyeing victims, it’s comedy of the darkest kind. But its pivotal message is of hope and redemption, presented in gorgeous music, and through a tale – Noah’s Ark – that can be understood by all.

When? Saturday, 22nd February, 2020 at 7:30pm

Where? Holy Trinity Rotherhithe, SE16 5HF
