Creation Care Conference Resources
As part of the installation of Gaia, Blackburn Cathedral held a Creation Care Conference and here are the resources from the weekend.
The Blackburn Cathedral Creation Care Conference brought together voices from across the Christian spectrum to explore how faith communities can respond to the environmental crisis.
