What's On...
Dear Friends,
We are hosting a screening of the National Emergency Briefing St
Illtud’s Church, Llantwit Major CF61 1SS, on Friday 9 th October
8.00pm.
We extend an especially warm welcome to our sisters and brothers in
Christ from the churches of our town, to join us for this important event.
The film looks at the impact of climate change on our world and,
specifically, its impact on our own country. A range of experts set out
their concerns that were presented to MPs in November 2025. This film
extends the scientific briefing for our nation to witness.
This is not a ‘Christian’ film, but it addresses core issues about what it
means to care for God’s Creation with responsible stewardship and
generosity.
We hope you will be able to join us at St Illtud’s on 9 th October. The film
will start at 8.00pm and it lasts about 50 minutes. That will be followed
by tea and coffee and a chance to chat informally with others and make
your comments in response.
This is not a ticketed event, but there is plenty of room in St Illtud’s and
we look forward to welcoming you on the night.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Edwin Counsell and the congregation of St Illtud’s Church
The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency.
Yet most people have never been fully briefed on
what it means for our lives, our economy and our
future.
In November 2025, the National Emergency Briefing
brought together leading experts to present the latest
evidence on the climate and nature crisis to politicians
and other influential people in Westminster. That
evidence is now on the public record. The film is
intended as a catalyst for a wider public conversation, so
that the whole country can be fully informed about the
climate change risks we face, and the solutions
available.
St Illtud’s Church,
Llantwit Major CF61 1SS
