We are most at home with face-to-face sessions for creativity, participation and special sharing that happens in a group where trust has been established. We had to adapt the material to offer on Zoom sessions. This online experience, though not ideal, resulted in access to different people and a wider more disparate audience<\/strong> through links with different networks. We were able to participate in Season of Creation Event<\/strong> organized by Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF), and then gather followers for two further virtual sessions.

For me, exploring the themes in Laudato S\u00ed<\/strong> led me to a new understanding of our world, the universe, our connectedness with all creatures.

Pope Francis says: \u201cThese ancient stories, full of symbolism, bear witness to a conviction which we today share, that everything is interconnected\u2026\u201d<\/em> (Cf Laudato S\u00ed, #70),<\/span> also conveyed in Laudato S\u00ed<\/strong>, compelled me to share some of this new story as best I could in Scotland. A technologically-skilled friend, Liz Snodgrass<\/strong>, whom I had known through the Justice and Peace Network, shared my enthusiasm for these issues. Together, we developed presentations for parish and community groups, people interested and concerned for our world and the future of our

The \u2018twenty sixth conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change\u2019 (or COP26 for short) will take place at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow from November 1 \u201312, 2021 bringing governments from around the world together to discuss action on climate change. Since the first COP in Berlin in 1995 there has been slow and painstaking progress towards international agreement.
