Ceremony to mark multireligious common action on climate change
Three Religions for Peace international co-presidents, Grand Mufti Mustafa Ceric of Bosnia- Herzegovina, Venerable Grace Chung Lee of Won Buddhism in Korea, and Church of Sweden Archbishop Anders Wejryd attended a multireligious ceremony on Thursday 10 December in Copenhagen. The ceremony gathered international as well as Danish religious leaders in support of world leaders’ efforts to reach agreement on climate change measures. It is a follow up of an international conference of religious leaders on climate change in 2008 initiated by archbishop Wejryd. Rev Dr Hans Ucko, President of Religions for Peace, Europe, organises the ceremony. On the opening day of the Climate Summit he wrote from Copenhagen: “When faced with threats to
justice, peace and our environment, there are possibilities to discover our common humanity across religious and cultural boundaries. And in situations of crisis we become more open to listen to and receive the spiritual resources of each other.”
