The Sunday, October 10 , dozens of churches in Quebec will join the movement 350.org to signify their support for an international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are warming our atmosphere. The initiative comes from the Green Church program offered by the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism. In this weekend of Thanksgiving, the homily (sermon) will include climate justice and prayers have a touch of environmental awareness. At the end of the celebration, the church community will take their picture with the number "350" to promote the objective of finding a concentration of 350 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere, the concentration to recover to maintain a climate Living according to climatologists. At present, the concentration of CO2 reached 385 ppm and is increasing. Christians have a faith tradition that calls this fight to defend because the poor are most affected by climate change. To address this issue awareness, a special liturgy is available on the website http://www.egliseverte.org/ .
