Victoria churches ring their bells to support global climate strike week of action Sept. 20-27

Climate scientists say the world has 11 years to reduce carbon emissions by 45 percent to avoid irreversible climate disruption. 

KAIROS Victoria has asked churches to ring their bells for 11 minutes (one minute for each year) around mid-day during this special week of global action. 

St. John the Divine Anglican will ring its bells at 11 a.m. for 11 minutes from September 23-26 and at 12 noon on Sept. 27.

First Met United, Oak Bay United, St Paul’s United (Sidney), St Mary’s Anglican (Metchosin) and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian will ring their bells for 11 minutes at 12 noon Sept. 27, the day Greater Victoria students encourage a one-day strike for the climate.

KAIROS is a faith-based social justice organization of 10 Canadian national churches and religious organizations focusing on Indigenous rights, international human rights and ecological justice. Through KAIROS, ordinary Canadians of faith and conscience work together for extraordinary change.
