24.01.2022 In this season of Creation - what can our relationship with animals teach us about life?

22.01.2022 Letter to the editor Newcastle Herald Friday 25th September As a minister in the Uniting Church I am supporting the national day of action on Friday 25th September led by young people concerned about the future of the environment. This is a call for building a future based on action and jobs that fast-track solutions to the climate crisis and help communities recover, rather than investment in gas or coal based projects. Australian communities have been hit hard by the dual... bushfire and COVID-19 crises. Governments around the world are spending vast amounts of money to stimulate the economy in the wake of COVID-19. Right now is a critical time. We need to build the future we, our children and grandchildren can all thrive in by creating clean jobs that care for country, climate and our communities. But voices aligned with the fossil fuel industry are seeking investment in gas projects, despite these creating fewer jobs and contributing to higher emissions and damaging climate change. Many of the young families I relate to see this as the defining issue of our generation. One parent said to me: ‘We have to find happiness somewhere other than consumerism and greed if our children are to have a world to live in.’ This issue brings together my duties as a citizen and my sense of faith. It is time for action towards the common good and our care for the creation. Rev Dr Rod Pattenden Adamstown Uniting Church.
