210th Annual Meeting calls for action to reverse climate change

The 210th Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference on Saturday passed an emergency resolution calling on local churches to take action to combat global warming.

The resolution calls on the Conference’s 390 congregations and 77,000 members to sign the Interfaith Call for 350.

The Interfaith Call for 350 is a call to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the current level of 390 parts per million to below 350 parts per million – the level which the resolution said is what is needed to “retain a world similar to what human beings have known for the past 10,000 years.”

New! Videos from the Annual Meeting, an article outlining all the actions taken and links to related resources.
