Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Laura Marks, a campaigner for social action and interfaith relationships.

What do you get when 25 eco-warriors from 7 different faith groups gather together for 24 hours to address climate change?聽 Hopefully more than just hot air.

And with this week marking the Jewish festival of the trees and my activist interest aroused, I left my comfort zone in North London and boarded the suburban train filled with both anticipation and, trepidation.聽

Even my packing had been a challenge, reflecting my green credentials, no spray deodorant, but also my obsession with blow-drying my hair.聽 I grabbed a bigger bag 鈥� and stuffed in my hairdryer.

On arrival at the location for our conference, St George鈥檚 house in Windsor, I鈥檇 been allocated a third floor room and agonised over whether to schlepp my laden luggage up the narrow stairs, ratcheting up my step count and saving both electricity, and face, or lazily languish in the lift. 聽Guess which won.

On recycled paper, we all took copious notes about climate change, air quality, and sustainability, greedily gulping down the gargantuan scale of the challenge. Muslims quoted Quran, and Christians the New Testament. From Jewish scriptures we heard 鈥淭here is no plant without an angel in Heaven tending it and telling it, 鈥楪row!'鈥�

Together we learned about our obligation to nurture our mutual mother, earth. 聽聽

Like over excited teenagers away, we stayed up late sharing ideas and my secret stash of strudel (do teenagers still do that sort of thing?) before I fell shattered into my single, away from home bed.

Saving the planet feels overwhelming. But given the shared beliefs of billions of Christians, Muslims, and Hindus, rather than being one homesick, overwhelmed, blow-dried Jewish mother of three, I realised we could all be part of this throng of disciples, this gentle eco-army, this mission for the future of every single child.

At the end of the second day, I dashed for the station, just missing my train.

Having not even bought the nut roast for our important family Friday night table, this time there was no contest, no agonising about the most eco-friendly form of transport.聽 I phoned a friend, squeezed myself into her already packed car, and sped back home to my family, hungry for our Shabbat dinner and brimming with ideas to share.
