Sound of Many Waters - Catholics & Ecology

Join us in a wonderful year-long exploration of our need to care for our environment.  The celebrations at Clifton Cathedral in Bristol draw on Catholic teachings, insights and networks – and are open to everyone.  Together we can help restore the world, and fill it with the sound of many waters, flowing together.
 
Sound of Many Waters is inspired by Mary Colwell a Clifton Cathedral parishioner, BBC Natural History producer and ecological campaigner.  It is supported by a range of organisations including WWF, Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC), the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and the Apostleship of the Sea.  We are pleased that Sound of Many Waters has backing on the national and international scene.  Messages of support have been received from the Bishops’ Conferences of Australia, USA and Scotland.
 
Right Reverend Declan Lang, Bishop of Clifton said,  “Join with us on the journey of Sound of Many Waters.  Here at Clifton Cathedral we are embarking on a series of events that demonstrate action, prayer, fun, and reflection, to help us explore our need to care for our environment.”
