Young people in the Methodist Church have issued a challenge for the Church to take the issue of Climate Change seriously. They want every Church and all ages to be active and involved in making a difference during 2008. In response to this JMA and World Action are taking this challenge forward an interactive resource for use in children's and youth groups in worship and at home building up to every Church getting involved in a Month of action for Climate Change.
 
Changing Actions - Stem the Tide of Climate Change will be available after Easter to follow on from MRDF's Lent Pack.
