What is ours to do? We've been deep in this theme of Creation Cares for a number of weeks as a GoHealth Community. In this episode Gillian talks with Clare Fussell from Operation Noah about what we can do in response, and what we can leave undone!
Clare Fussell joined Operation Noah in January 2024. Clare has a background in coordinating environmental campaigns, with experience leading The Climate Coalition, managing Christian Aid’s Campaign Team, and being Environmental Adviser for Bristol Diocese. She is passionate about linking Christian faith with environmental action, and enjoys learning about permaculture and biodiversity through her role as trustee of Hazelnut Community Farm in Bristol, as well as through the eco work at her church. Clare is married to Luke, a renewable energy engineer, and they have two young children.
In their conversation together Gillian and Clare explore:
- Would Clare's teenage self imagine she would be doing what she is doing now
- Responding to the Climate crisis by balancing the big scene with small actions
- How Operation Noah has been supporting churches through the Bright Now campaign.
- What churches can do in response to climate change and biodiversity loss.
- Why climate change and environmental concerns are not a side show to the main purpose of the church.
- Clare's three tips for avoiding activist burnout as a Christian engaged in climate justice.
