 Is this just a play on words or is the change of climate needed in today's world - a present climate of confrontation, of misrepresentation, of refusing to do more Is this just a play on words or is the change of climate needed in today's world - a present climate of confrontation, of misrepresentation, of refusing to do more.

WHAT on earth - and in the heavens - does our Franciscan way of being have to say to the reality of Climate Change?  ONLY our core value of conversion, inviting us always to live more deeply into the Mystery of being Brother/Sister to all creation and thereby accepting the Truth of our harmful - and yes - our helpful actions; daily allowing ourselves to be changed deep within, so that standing before the world we effect both Climate Change AND Change of Climate.
