________________ World Council of Churches Guillermo Kerber, the WCC programme executive on Care for Creation and Climate Justice, explained, "The general ethical guidelines for investment already included the concern for a sustainable environment, for future generations and CO2 footprint. Adding fossil fuels to the list of sectors where the WCC does not invest in serves to strengthen the governing body's commitment on climate change as expressed in various sessions of the Central Committee." • The World Council of Churches represents over 500 million Christians in more than 110 countries. The WCC is an umbrella organization made up of 345 member churches, which include the Church of England. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/27/pope-francis-edict-climate-change-us-rightwing /
