More than 5,000 parishioners of 75 churches, religious organizations and faith groups will gather next Tuesday, November 30, in Cancun to pray for climate action at the United Nations climate conference.
This act, unprecedented in the city, will reunite catholics, christians, evangelical and jewish, who will congregate in the Plaza de la Reforma square to lift their prayers.
The prayer was announced at a press conference by religious leaders of more than 500 Cancun temples and the director of Religious Subjects of the City council of Benito Juárez, Hugo González Reyes.
The shepherd of the Presbyterian Church, Samuel May, emphasized that the prayer will be for the Mother Earth so that the man assumes his responsibility with her. Alexander Ramos Hernadez, one of the organizers of the event, revealed that two orations will be included in the prayer: the first for the Earth, and the second for the delegates of each of the 192 participant countries. Organizers will also try to encourage a peaceful atmosphere so that the necessary agreements can be reached during the 12 days of the conference.
Participants in the climate prayer are asked to wear white clothes and gather in the square located in front of the Municipal Palace at 5pm local time. The event is expected to extend up to 4 hours and will also include a performance by the children’s choir from the church Cristo Rey.
