Tearfund report that:
"An estimated 50,000 people dressed in blue, encircling Parliament and calling on the government to take action for a strong climate deal, isn't an everyday sight.
But it was an inspiring one. So was 3,000 Christians praising and worshipping our God of justice in Central Hall, Westminster and the thousands who took to the streets of Glasgow and Belfast.
Today, Christians from around the UK came together to act justly and march humbly for God and for His poorest and most vulnerable children across the world, already suffering the effects of a changing climate.
Changing the world is a long process that requires perseverance, grace and the power of God's Holy Spirit. But it can also be fun! If you made it out today, we hope you had a fantastic time surrounded by people passionate about justice. And if you couldn't be there but prayed for The Wave, thank you.

Well done St John's Seven Kings and well done Jon and well done all 50000 of you!...
Having been the worship leader for the pre-march events organised by CEL in 2007 & 2008, I couldn't even make it along this time! (Poorly children and various other things.) So glad that so many went though!..
Now for the hard praying to go infront and behind and underneath all heading for Copenhagen!...
