This Ash Wednesday, 5 March, a coalition of Christian charities including Operation Noah will hold a ‘No Faith in Fossil Fuels’ service of reflection, repentance and hope at St John’s Waterloo in London – an opportunity to connect Ash Wednesday observance with the harm fossil fuels are causing.

The hour-long service will begin at 11am and will be followed by a 24-hour prayer vigil outside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Whitehall, as we collectively try and stop to all new UK oil and gas developments and put an end to the destructive fossil fuel era.

There are also resources available to help you run a ‘No Faith in Fossil Fuels’ service in your church or local community – download a suggested order of service and music here.

Additionally, there are resources for Christians who would like to hold their own Ash Wednesday prayer vigil outside of their local MPs office or in their town centre – download prayer vigil resources here.
