Their resolution reflects the hard work of this section where people with strongly opposing viewpoints have engaged with one another. I therefore urge you to support their resolution and acknowledge the diversity of practices within our Communion. Those in the environment sub-section remind us that by the time environmental issues get to the top of the Lambeth agenda it will be too late. I can't help but be astonished at the sheer lack of urgency among church leaders today, ours is a world crying out for leadership, for some kind of spiritual guidance. These are the words of Jonathan Porritt in his book Seeing Green.
Environmental concerns are central to our Christian vocation.
If the church fails to take up environmental questions in earnest then it will fail our children and our children's children. Environmental issues and international debt place a future burden on our society unless they are addressed now. Our generation is mortgaging our children's future and the future of our planet. The human rights sub-section has been representative of the Anglican Communion throughout the world and has shared stories about the violation of human rights in different countries. This is reflected in our report.
