COP 26

COP 26 is undoubtedly one of the most important global events ever and it has been fascinating to see just a little of the impact on Glasgow. I have been pleased to be at the Interfaith Prayer Vigil, organised by Interfaith Glasgow and Interfaith Scotland, which took place in George Square on the afternoon of Sunday 31st October. This was an important faith marker and prayers were led by representatives of nine different faiths. It was followed by a reception in the City Chambers, hosted by the Lord Provost.

I was also pleased to have a small part in the ecumenical service at Glasgow Cathedral on 7th November. The issue of climate change remains a huge challenge, and will. It is important that people of faith speak up and speak out. It was encouraging to see such a wide spectrum of Christians at the cathedral for this service. Let's each do what we can. It may seem small, but it's all important.
