During a meeting with the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the President of Malawi encouraged church members to continue to ‘provide direction’ and ‘take care of (God’s) creation’.

The Rev Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera was in Scotland to speak at COP26 about the climate issues affecting Malawi.

Dr Chakwera said: “I want to encourage the Church of Scotland when we deal with issues to do with climate change.

“What the Moderator has said about the faith aspect is of crucial importance because it is part of God’s integral mission for us, His children, to take care of His world for generations to come.

“So I encourage the Church to continue to provide the direction, and the perspective from God’s point of view, as to why, even right from Genesis, He wanted humanity to take care of His creation.”
