Rewild Church Land: singing in
St Paul’s Cathedral

1^st March 2025: Birds fluttered beneath the great dome as singers from around the country lifted their voices to the skies. Church of England Rewild Your Land* echoed statements from the church authorities saying we must steward the beautiful world and protect its gifts. The organisation Wild Card is calling for the Church Commissioners to rewild 30% of the 105 thousand acres they own by 2030 wildcard.land/campaigns/rewild-the-church Does Not Nature Cry Out** is a heartfelt plea to spiritual leaders to step up to the lectern and make their voices heard and act now for life in all its magnificent diversity. Our action proclaimed what has been well understood for centuries and well before Christopher Wren laid the first stone: “Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures, and on the earth let birds fly beneath the dome of the sky”. We have no time to lose – eternity is in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower.
