In late February, members of the Voices of Faith group met online to hear three talks and to ask questions of the panellists on the topic 'Everybody on the Planet'.
Revd Mark Nash-Williams, Vicar of Alston Moor and Bishops' Advisor on the Environment (CofE), Mike Turner a humanist, Bhaktirasa dasa from the ISKCON Hare Krishna Temple, each gave a five minute talk on the issues facing our planet and our duties towards it.
The three panellists met online to respond to questions from group members. They covered questions on:
- Will God resolve Global warming?
- What we should be doing more of and less of over the next decade?
- What should be the short term priorities for energy policy (Nuclear, fossil, renewables) ?
- Are vegetarianism and veganism the logical conclusions of the problem?
The three talks are at the start of the video and the panel discussion starts after 21 minutes. We hope you will find both the talks and discussions enriching.
