Westminster Justice and Peace has issued two new publications for Lent as part of their efforts to raise awareness of climate change: The Paris Diaries on their cycling pilgrimage to Paris, The Paris Diaries, and a new vegetarian recipe book: Lent Fast, Vegetarian Feast.

For a year the Westminster Justice and Peace Commission organised 'Pray and Fast' evenings on the first of the month in solidarity with a worldwide movement to raise concern for our planet. They marked the evenings with other Catholics, fellow Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths. Following their cycle pilgrimage to Paris, they broke the fast with groups from around the world during the first week of the UN Climate Talks, and participated in the handing over of nearly two million signatures from faith groups to Christiana Figueres, secretary of the UN Convention on Climate Change. society. They are the specific tools that Christians can bring to the table.

The Paris Diaries - Laudato Si' Climate Cycling Pilgrimage2Paris

The Paris Diaries is a written and photo account of our epic ride for the UN COP 21 Climate Talks at the end of 2015: who went, why we went, how, and what happened when we got there. It witnesses to our passion for the climate, and provides a tribute to all the fine people, fellow activists for the climate that we met on the way. It celebrates the agreement reached by international leaders, and concludes with a call to expand our efforts for the climate. Fr Joe Ryan concludes, 'We need to keep vigilant and hold our leaders to account. We all need to play our part. A lot of unpacking, monitoring and action will have to go on in the days ahead'. 40 glossy pages, colour print Price £3 inc postage

Lent Fast, Vegetarian Feast

Go veggie for Lent! The first modest little step is this cookbook for Lent! We have all read about the huge problems created by our meat-dependent diet: the amount of water and the acres of grain needed for one kilo of beef. We noted that 'Agriculture is a significant driver of global warming and causes 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions, half of which are from livestock'. But how to change habits of a lifetime? We suggest trying to go veggie at least during part of Lent. Our cyclists and Justice and Peace activists have contributed 40 tried and tested recipes - one for every day of Lent. Our personal commitment really counts. 40 glossy pages, colour print

Price £3 inc postage Order an equal number of each at £5 for 2 from Westminster Justice and Peace, 4 Vincent Road, London N15 3QH. Cheques payable to justice@rcdow.org.uk or or email justice@rcdow.org.uk for bank details.
