Climate Justice:

Recognizing our Responsibility as Global Neighbours

In October, 2011, Willard Metzger, Executive Director of Mennonite Church Canada, attended an interfaith gathering that resulted in a Canadian Interfaith Call for Action on Climate Justice. On the following day, Metzger addressed a breakfast meeting of federal government Members of Parliament and Senators, advocating that faith bodies be invited to collaborate with governments in reducing the human ecological footprint on the planet. Senator Grant Mitchell thanked Metzger for his address, writing, “Thanks for this. It is exceptionally good. And thanks for your leadership and inspiration on this important issue.”
