This Lenten season, let’s take time to reflect on creation and those who share it, and to lament, pray, commit to act, and sing with people around the world.
The Anglican Communion Environmental Network and the Global Catholic Climate movement have produced an on-line calendar with stories from around the world, regional information to help us reflect and pray together.
All the calendar material is in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
A one page version of the calendar with 40 actions is available in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese.
