Bishop of Liverpool Honorary Fellow

  02/12/2009
For the past year, CIWEM’s Faiths and Environment Network has been working with faith groups to provide an ethical and environmental framework that will inspire urgent action on climate change. One if it’s first steps was to host a dinner debate led by Rt. Reverend Dr James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, which questioned whether the political leadership needed is in place to achieve the social, cultural and environmental change required to avoid a climate catastrophe.

 

Therefore, CIWEM is delighted to welcome Rt. Reverend Dr James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool, as an Honorary Fellow.

James Jones has been Bishop of Liverpool since 1998. He also chairs the Governing Body of the faith-based St Francis of Assisi City Academy, which is the first Academy to take the Environment as its specialism, has written a number of books, including Jesus and the Earth, which looks at the relationship between Christianity and the environment, and set up Faiths4Change, an organisation working across the faith communities engaging local people in the holistic transformation of their local environment. He believes that young people are much more alert to the need to create cleaner, safer and greener communities.

On accepting his Honorary Fellowship, Bishop James said: "As the recent floods show, management of water and the environment is crucial to our well-being. I'm honoured to be a fellow of those who are taking the lead in caring for creation."

CIWEM also recently put its weight behind a statement signed by faiths organisations that calls upon UK negotiators at Copenhagen to fight for a deal that ends our unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels and puts in place urgent measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

CIWEM’s Executive Director, Nick Reeves, says: “The Bishop of Liverpool is a staunch champion of the environment and is performing a vital leadership role in communicating responsible environmental stewardship, and individual action on climate change, to a wide public as well as faiths community audience. It is for this achievement, and his ongoing work in these areas, that the Institution has been delighted to award Bishop James the highest of CIWEM accolades”.

Robotic cleaning instruments absorb the oil and move independently and autonomously. They can communicate between them and coordinate their actions.
