Archbishop of Canterbury: "Fear hinders climate change battle"

The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams preached during an ecumenical celebration in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen. Joining Williams at Copenhagen's Lutheran cathedral was Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa and religious leaders from Tuvalu, Zambia, Mexico and Greenland. Williams, who led the ecumenical service, said a paralysing sense of fear and selfishness would deny future generations a "stable, productive and balanced world to live in" and instead give them a world of "utterly chaotic and disruptive change, of devastation and desertification, of biological impoverishment and degradation," writes The Guardian.
