Interfaith "Walk For Climate" Will March From Northhampton To Boston This Week - Boston Globe

[hatrack]

EDIT

Next weekend, believers will gather in Copley Square, believers in God who also believe that environmental issues, particularly climate change, have become moral issues.

Local congregations have recently felt the urgency of saving not only souls, but also the planet. They have been watching "An Inconvenient Truth " at the Cambridge Friends Meeting, screwing in compact fluorescent light bulbs at Congregation Eitz Chayim in Cambridgeport, asking for energy audits at Old South Church in Back Bay, and buying all-green energy at All Saints Church in Brookline.

Now more than 50 congregations statewide are taking part in the Interfaith Walk for Climate Rescue, which was to start Friday in Northampton in Western Massachusetts and will end next weekend in Copley Square with a rally Saturday that organizers expect to draw more than 1,000 people.

Speaking at the rally will be the Rev. Robert W. Edgar, general secretary of the National Council of Churches, which represents denominations with 45 million members in the United States.
