Working together to walk and pray all the way to COP27.  Raising awareness of the climate and ecological crisis, praying as we journey, and treasuring the beauty of creation all around us - God's good gift, our shared home.

"Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly" (Micah 6:8)

You can do more than just walk for this challenge - walk, run, ride, or roll to help us reach our collective target - to cover the 3,327 miles from Glasgow to Sharm el Sheik.  We are doing this as a pilgrimage - a shared journey (in lots of little bits!) to talk and pray together as we travel.

The COP (Conference of the Parties) gatherings are where the United Nations makes decisions about how to best care for our World together - especially in light of the Climate and Ecological Crisis.  COP26 was held in Glasgow in November 2021, and COP27 will be in Sharm el Sheik (on the Red Sea coast of Egypt) in November 2022.  Between these two gatherings we hope to work together to cover the distance (walking, running, riding, or rolling...) between the two locations while talking and praying together for the world: our shared home.  

Pilgrimage is an ancient way of journeying together.  It is often about travelling towards a special place - which for us is about moving towards the healing and restoration of our world, caring for creation.  Pilgrimage is a prayerful journey - sometimes praying before you start, when you pause, or while you travel.
