Bells rang as a warning on climate change after the Archbishop of Canterbury told a church service in Copenhagen -- attended by people from major faiths and Christian denominations -- that humanity can only show love to all by making the earth a secure home, reports Ecumenical News International (ENI) today.
Archbishop Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the 77-million strong Anglican Communion, preached the main sermon before Danish royalty, Denmark's prime minister, and religious leaders in a packed Church of Our Lady, Copenhagen's Lutheran cathedral.
"We cannot show the right kind of love for our fellow humans unless we also work at keeping the earth as a place that is a secure home for all people," Williams said at the December 13 service called "an ecumenical celebration for creation."
The service marked the midpoint of the United Nations-organized talks in the Danish capital to reach agreement on limiting emissions held responsible for causing climate change.
