The document entitled "Climate Change - A Challenge to the Churches in South Africa", now available in PDF format.
The document has been endorsed by the National Executive Committee of the SACC. The SACC has invited other Christian leaders and church structures to endorse it as well.
During the months of October and November 2009 it will be forwarded to as many other church structures in South Africa as possible for endorsement - ranging from small Bible study groups to local church councils, dioceses and synods. In addition, individual Christian leaders, involved in ministries at various levels in South Africa, are invited to endorse the document. To endorse this document not only implies that it is regarded as an appropriate statement to churches in South Africa on the challenges related to climate change. It also indicates an acceptance of the responsibility to help disseminate the document within one's particular sphere of influence.
Such endorsements may be forwarded to the secretary of the Climate Change Committee, of the SACC (Western Cape) at the following address: deon.snyman@telkomsa.net or to econradie@uwc.ac.za.
