Pause For Thought
A bishop, an imam and a rabbi walked into a room. This was not a joke but rather the start of a very serious seminar about climate change at COP26 last week.
The day had started badly with horrendous weather meaning that however I planned to reached Glasgow, by plane train or automobile (my favourite classic film and much funnier than my journey), I would be late for my first Scottish assignation, the kosher bagel brunch at the synagogue. Pounding through the door just as the last pastry was tidied away, with my high heels tucked away in my bag, I only had a moment to peek at the stunning Victorian prayer space before being redirected back into the gale blowing outside.
We walked for miles, through quiet streets swathed with posters entreating us to take action on climate change, to Cop26’s cordoned off Green Zone in the Glasgow science centre.
Facing an overwhelming tsunami of session choices, I headed, with a brisk step, for feminism and climate change, both close to my heart. Here, women from the southern hemisphere linked climate change with poor access to education food poverty and violence against women.
Then back through the tunnels and corridors, filled with green walls, banners and campaigns, as well as an uplifting Scottish pipe band, to hear from the bishop, the imam and the rabbi, about how and why other faith leaders, an unrivalled force in world issues, are not doing more.
Climate change, the chief rabbi told us, is a religious issue.Β We have a responsibility not just to our neighbours – who we must love as ourselves – but to all humankind.Β We are all, he reminded us, Bzelem Elohim, built in the image of God, and as such this affects each and every one of us at our very core, whether or not we are directly affected by the climate.Β Β
That night, my wrist-watch registering an astonishing 19,500 steps, I reflected that whilst it is the task of the bishop, the imam and the rabbi to challenge climate change, it is also mine. I can, for example, walk more and ride less, even if that means leaving my high heels, also close to my heart, at home.
