Bishop of Polynesia addresses festivalgoers in England on climate change

From ACNS-

Archbishop Winston Halapua of Polynesia has taken his concerns about climate justice and his moana theology message to a new stage – to the immaculate grounds of a stately hall in the English midlands. He’d been invited by the USPG (United Society Partners in the Gospel) to be their keynote speaker at the Greenbelt Festival, which was held in the grounds of Boughton House. The Greenbelt Festival has been a British fixture for more than four decades and its organisers say their mission is “to create spaces, like festivals, where art, faith and justice collide.”

Dozens of artists and performers share stages at Greenbelt, and many church agencies – USPG among them – host events within the festival. This year USPG was highlighting climate justice, hence its invitation to Archbishop Winston to anchor its 2017 Greenbelt programme.
