The question is explored in depth in the new publication titled Every Part of Creation Matters pub…EVENT IN TRURO Tuesday 29 November New County Hall Truro from 9 am onward.Lets hear your voice. There is no easy way to say this but the message is clear from climate scientists and the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres (October 2022) He says we have 2 to 3 years left to prevent tipping points being reached and that we must prioritise the climate crisis above all else, to prevent catastrophe. This coupled with an accelerating cost of living crisis, pollution in our Cornish seas, a shortage of affordable local housing stock and a broken NHS system.These factors will affect all of us in our quest to build sustainable communities. If we fail to act at this time in history, we condemn ourselves, our children and grandchildren to real hardship and suffering. But we still have hope and vision to create positive change ensuring social justice and climate justice for all, by building constructive dialogue with our civic representatives and building action within all levels of society. We therefore ask you to join us in a PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLY and speeches. Lets find solutions together,in our changing world, all welcome…Please pass on.

Holy God, source and creator of all things, eternal love, we give thanks to you:
Father, who loves us infinitely,
Son who reveals to us unconditional love, Holy Spirit who empowers us with divine love, gather us together in your love,
that we may grow in visible communion
and so witness to unity in the world.
Where your people are broken, may love mend.
When hatred shouts in the world, let love bring peace with justice. As creation groans, may redemption come to all the earth.
Come with your divine love, and enter our hearts.
Move your church, and move the world
to reconciliation and unity. Amen.
Unity Statement approved by the WCC 11th Assembly in Karlsruhe, Germany.

“We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love… and then we return home.”
An Aboriginal proverb quoted by Her Majesty The Queen in 2011.
Even in your absence, you continue to console us.
Thank you, Your Majesty. May you Rest in Peace.

Loving God,
you are with us from our beginning to our end,

Almighty and ever-present God,
at this time of national mourning,
we have all been prompted to reflect on
the importance and power of faith,
inspired by the example of our late Queen.
Reignite in us the same gift of faith,
which is possible because
you placed eternity in our hearts,
so that we might seek and find you.
Though Christ, our Lord
the inspiration and initiator of faith.

Lord of humility,
you revealed yourself as the Most High
when you stooped to become the most low.
Thank you that your servant Elizabeth
not only knew this truth
but also lived it out,
in her calling as our Queen.
She knew that ‘love is not self-seeking,
does not boast, and is not proud’,
but that it always takes the last place,
which is, in your sight, the first.
Thank you for the inspiration of a life
that sought to model itself on her Saviour,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Lord of compassion,
your love is eternal
and your mercy inexhaustible.
Thank you that your servant Elizabeth
was as kind and as welcoming
toward everyone she met,
as she was toward the great and the good.
Hers was the love that ‘always protects,
always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres’.
Here she was known in part,
but now she is fully known,
and sees you, Lord Jesus, face-to-face
which is the end of all our loving.
Amen
