Adani, the Twin Towers and the 7th Principle

An address by our Minister, Rev. Rob MacPherson - recorded on Sunday, 28th April, 2019 at The Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide.
Tragic and dramatic events like the recent Notre Dame fire, the collapse of its spire - linked by Google - algorithmically - to the 911 collapse of the Twin Towers in New York, distract us from the looming crisis of climate change and loss of biodiversity - far more crucial to the future of life on this planet, and vastly more real and threatening to all life on earth. The Global threat of Climate Change is kept - intentionally - just out of the frame by those with the wealth and power to shape the media and public policy for their own ends. With reference to our Unitarian Universalist 7th Principle: "….Respect for the interdependent web of all life", Rob throws out a challenge. What can we Unitarians do about this? He introduces us to three possibilities for action: Quietism, Activism and a middle path - Voluntarism.
