Dear Prime Ministers,
From April 14th to 18th Leaders from Methodist and Uniting Churches in the Pacific met in Tonga for their annual consultative meeting.
During the meeting we considered a theological response to ecological issues. As part of this we heard from members specific concerns of rising sea levels and their effects on low lying islands of the Pacific.
