Renewal and Rebellion: Faith, Economy and Climate

On Saturday 7 March 2020, JPIT’s National Conference ‘Renewal and Rebellion: Faith, Economy and Climate’ took place in Derby. We welcomed over 300 people to creatively explore our response to the climate crisis, and how the economy has a part to play in our impact on creation.

Barry Gardiner MP, Shadow Secretary of State for International Trade
Katherine Trebeck, Wellbeing Economist
Anthony Reddie, Director of Oxford Centre for Religion and Culture
Christine Allen, Director of CAFOD
Ross Greer, Green MSP
Revd Lucy Berry, Poet-in-Residence

Worship

Worship at the JPIT Conference was led by Revd Rachel Parkinson, Chair of the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury District of the Methodist Church. It focused on the installation ‘Acts of UnCreation’, created for the conference by Revd Michaela Youngson.

You can find the script for the opening worship here:

The worship featured a rewritten version of Andrew Graystone’s song ‘One Day’, using lines offered by delegates at the conference. You can find the words to this song and the music here:

Visual Arts

Throughout the day we were very blessed to have Siggy Parratt-Halbert take visual minutes of the main sessions. Check out her depiction of the day below:

Visual Minutes

‘Acts of UnCreation’ was created by Michaela Youngson for our conference.  The six glass discs together echo the first creation story in Genesis.  They remind us of the damage being done to our world and our life together.

You can have a closer look at Michaela’s artwork here.
