For the last eight years Michael Fox, the retiring Archdeacon of West Ham, has chaired the Diocesan Environmental Group. As part of his long farewell as he moves into retirement, he is going to a church in each of the Deaneries in the Barking Area (plus some others around the Diocese) showing the ex-Vice-President of the United States, Al Gore’s, remarkable film entitled An Inconvenient Truth. It is actually an Oscar-winning film, in spite of being basically a lecture that Al Gore has given around the world for many years.
If it sounds dull, come and see it. You are in for a shock. It explains and explores the results of the climate change we are personally undergoing. The film is 90 minutes long and Michael will spend just half an hour talking about, and answering questions on, why we as Christians should have any particular concerns about environmental issues.
In this Deanery, Michael will be at St Andrew's (The Drive, Ilford) at 7.30pm on Wednesday 1st August.
