Date of Event:

Venue: 
In Edinburgh and across the world!
Time : 
3.00 pm

Let the bells ring, the conch shells, drums and gongs sound 350 times for climate justice!

Since immemorial times in cultures across the world musical instruments like bells and drums have been used to warn people of imminent danger – but also to call people to religious service, marking important moments in worship and seeking to connect to God.

Sunday 13 December marks the height of the talks at United Nations climate negotiations in Copenhagen.

At 3 p.m.  – marking the end of a high profile ecumenical celebration at the Lutheran Cathedral in Copenhagen, the Church of Our Lady – the churches in Denmark will ring their bells, and Christians around the world are invited to echo them by sounding their own bells, shells, drums, gongs or horns 350 times.
