Easter protests outside Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s

‘Christ was arrested for standing up to oppressive powers of his time. Fossil fuel companies are the oppressive power of now and they need to be stopped before they destroy humanity.'

A group of Christians held a protest outside Westminster Abbey in London during its Good Friday service, calling on the Church of England to take its investments out of fossil fuels. As worshippers left Westminster Abbey, the protestors from Christian Climate Action handed out leaflets outlining why the Church of England should divest from fossil fuel companies. The group – which included a vicar – also held prayers and sang hymns, to mark Good Friday.
