St Luke’s is one of twenty Christian organisations in the UK which have agreed to disinvest from fossil fuels as part of the Epiphany Declaration for Fossil Free Churches.

The declaration was created in November by the Christian campaign group Operation Noah as part of its campaign Bright Now.

It encouraged churches across the denominations to combat climate change by disinvesting on the feast of the Epiphany, which fell last Monday, January 6th.

“This is a powerful action that your church can take to respond to the climate emergency and highlight the need for urgent action,” the organisers said. “Even if your church doesn’t currently hold any fossil-fuel investments — for instance, if it only has a bank account — it can make a powerful statement by pledging not to invest in fossil fuels in the future.”
