Each year the European Christian Environmental Network (ECEN) publishes an anthology of liturgical material for Creation Time. This year’s liturgical material is entitled: ”Turn, then, and live”, based on Ezekiel 18:32. It is compiled by the National Council of Churches in Denmark Climate Change Working Group.

In December (7-18 December) Denmark will host the 15th UN Climate Summit. The liturgical material we have compiled here in Copenhagen focuses on this major event when the nations of the world meet to negotiate a replacement of the Kyoto Protocol that runs out in 2012. This is a crucial time in history. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of creation and its inhabitants is at stake. The challenges of the climate crisis and the vast task we all face – as inhabitants of God’s creation – to reduce our carbon footprint, to change our environmental behaviour, in short to turn, so that we and future generations may live - is immense and overwhelming.
