Speaking with Bishop Bev this week, she reflected on the changes and challenges we have all undergone this year. Looking back, we are already saying to each other 'Remember when...'
Remember when the roads were empty...
Remember when we stayed at home...
Remember when we could hear the birds singing...
In April this year, global emissions were down by 17%. Almost overnight.
While we're still dealing and living with the pandemic, it's important to remember to hope. Connecting our faith, our community and our environment can lead us to this.
