Ontario's Bee Plan

"Ontario's move is good news for the birds and bees, and for the rest of us whose food supply depends on pollinators." "The government is proposing regulations to prohibit the use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seeds, except under certain conditions. The intent is to reduce these uses by 80 per cent by 2017.Neonicotinoid insecticides (neonics) are highly toxic to bees and have wide-ranging effects on other organisms, including impaired memory, lower reproduction rates and increased susceptibility to disease."

PRAYERS SOUGHT FOR THE ECO-BISHOPS INITIATIVE GATHERING

As the Eco-Bishops gather in Cape Town, let us together pray. After years of planning, several conference calls and communication by email, the eco-bishops will soon gather in Cape Town for three intensive days of prayer, reflection and sharing. What they are asked and empowered to do, is to challenge the communion about how we live now as God’s people living on and near the earth. While our policy does not permit the issuing of specific mandates to provinces or dioceses, you have been asked to share with the communion your experiences at home, and collectively as a result of being together in Cape Town. A number of outcomes are imagined including statements, personal testimonies and group reflections. Art, music, prayer, worship and youth engagement all feature in the three-day programme. Canon Ken is secretary to the network and co-facilitator of the EBI. From Canon Ken Gray
