In session four we look at the ways in which we can experience and care for creation.

Watch the pilgrim’s story

Ice-breaker

Last week we reflected on Micah’s call to do what is required which involved ‘walking humbly with God.’ How does this film about the pilgrimage to Paris make you feel about the COP26 talks happening in Glasgow this year (2021)?

_{(The UNCOP (United Nations Conference of the Parties) are the International climate change talks where world leaders make decisions about what should be done about the climate crisis. The Paris Agreement in 2016 was a significant step forward but the Glasgow talks are crucial). There are many pilgrimages planned to Glasgow including the one we mention in the action below.}
