All across the land Churches will be ringing their Bell or Bells at 6:00PM on Saturday 30th of October to sound the Alarm of the Climate and Ecological Emergency. This will coincide with the beginning of COP26 possibly the most critical global climate conference in History.
Revd Br Alasdair Kay the Rector of Wyke Regis in Dorset has asked his bell ringers to join the ring the changes for Climate Change.
I first heard of the Big Clang a project across the country of people banging saucepans, ringing bells and generally making a noise to mark the beginning of COP26. When I heard of Churches ringing their bells to sound an Alarm it made complete sense to me.
Wyke Parish Church bells were installed many years ago to warn the inhabitants of Weymouth about invasion. As a Coastal Parish, Climate Change presents us with a real threat ,especially as we have the UNESCO world heritage site of Chesil Beach in our Parish. A significant rise in sea levels could be catastrophic for us. We cannot ignore Climate Change.
Br Alasdair is also one of the organisers of the COP26 Coalition March for Climate Justice which will be meeting at Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday 6th of November at 12:00 PM.
