"Climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation." — Pope Francis
To mark Pope Francis' visit to the United States, Sojourners has partnered with NextGen Climate to convene key interfaith leaders and activists to welcome the pope and his call to action on climate change.
The effort, including a full-page advertisement on Sept. 25 in The New York Times and several other newspapers, features a letter signed by 36 interfaith leaders and activists.
In the letter, Rev. Wallis and other leaders reiterate the pope's call for people of all faiths to "act swiftly and boldly to address" climate change, along with his appeal to protect an environment "belonging to all and meant for all."
Faith leaders representing evangelical and mainline Protestants, Catholics, Islam, Judaism, and other faiths signed onto the letter to support the pope's message that by caring for the earth people can care for each other, especially the poor and marginalized.
