Wasn't expecting to stumble across a climate protest Christmas tree in Sheffield Cathedral🎄

A mock Christmas gift from the fossil fuel industry to the church, highlighting that parts of the Church of England invest in non-renewable energy. 💚

“The Church of England has… helped protect Shell’s image as a legitimate partner in climate action, rather than helping expose them as a deceitful, violent, and corrupt operation” https://t.co/9Kao9LcDny

@LambethConf @CommunionForest Wonderful! We have a tree to add:

A beautiful tree 🎄 for the @sheffcath festival saying “thank you” to the @churchofengland for all the support they’ve given @Shell. 😉

🎄UPDATE:🎄

[Sheffield Cathedral @sheffcath]

We are glad to include the tree decorated by @CcaSheffield in our Christmas Tree Festival, after a bit of initial confusion.

We won’t always get things right, but we’re working hard to listen and take our part in treading more lightly on the earth.

So thank you, and we look forward to the Church’s continuing support!

Sadly this gesture of gratitude and goodwill has not been accepted and has been removed from the festival by Sheffield Cathedral.

Not suitable for the public 🎄💔😢
