Pope Francis has united with Orthodox and Anglican leaders to urge people everywhere to “eat, travel, spend, invest and live differently” in an attempt to save the planet from destruction.
In their first ever joint statement, the Pope joined Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and the Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I to plead with people everywhere “to listen to the cry of the earth”.
“What we do today affects what happens tomorrow,” said the three Christian leaders in their “Joint Message for the Protection of Creation”, which was signed on September 1 but released only on Tuesday.
