I believe our Christian calling is to divest now from all companies who are undertaking fossil fuel exploration and development. We are rapidly running out of time. This PMM is designed to give the NIBs a simple directive from Synod: move money out of all companies planning fossil fuel exploration and development and increase investment in climate solutions.

On the eve of Earth Day, over a thousand Christians from diverse denominations came together in London for a climate protest against new fossil fuel exploration, particularly in the North Sea, and to call for a transition to a sustainable, just and fossil-free world. The event was a part of ‘The Big One’, a four-day protest organised by Extinction Rebellion and attended by Operation Noah, Christian Aid, Tearfund, Christian Climate Action, CAFOD, A Rocha UK and Green Christian.
On Friday 21 April, Operation Noah along with other Christian charities – including Tearfund, Christian Aid, YCCN and CAFOD – will hold a No Faith In Fossil Fuels Service and Pilgrimage outside St John’s Church, Waterloo. We’ll gather from 11am to pray and sing; after the service at 12 Noon, we will walk to Parliament and join The Big One protest, which will be family-friendly and is aiming to attract 100,000 people.

Between the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales, 40 dioceses had yet to make a formal divestment commitment at the beginning of 2023, though in January 2023, the Diocese of London announced it would divest; on 16 February, Lichfield Diocese announced its divestment; and on 20 February, the Diocese of Rochester divested.
At the start of 2023, 40 dioceses across England and Wales had yet to make a commitment to divest from fossil fuels. This Lent, Operation Noah, through our websites and social media channels, will highlight one of these dioceses on each of the 40 days of Lent and will encourage Christians to call on Church leaders to make changes.
Lent is a season of penance, prayer and repentance – so what better time to use our newly-revised study guide, ‘Tenants of the King’, to reflect on what God might be saying to us through the climate crisis today?
