Climate Change - not just a green issue - a briefing paper by the Mission and Public Affairs Council This briefing paper explores climate change as a security issue. It examines how climate change affects a range of policy issues (food, health, water energy and infrastructure), all of which have an impact on migration and conflict. It analyses how this new security agenda is influencing policy debates and subsequent efforts to secure an international agreement on climate change. It concludes by looking at the implications of this debate for how the Church approaches the issue of climate change. It asks whether the Church needs to concentrate more resources on the social justice and security concerns of many of its partners and members from across the Anglican Communion. Franciscian Theology - a paper by Rev Susan Walker on St Francis - an Eco-Warrior? Earth in our Hands - is an environmental study course prepared for Lent 2007 but suitable for any time of the year. Copies are available from the CTAL Office priced at £2.00 plus p&p each. An accompanying CD is also available priced £2. The booklets are 16 pages of full colour with information, photos, Bible passages, prayers and questions for discussion.
