God will not intervene to prevent humanity from wreaking disastrous damage on the environment, the Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.

In a lecture, Dr Rowan Williams urged a ‘radical change of heart' to prevent runaway climate change. Humanity should turn away from the selfishness and greed that leads it to ignore its interdependence with the natural world. And God would not guarantee a ‘happy ending', he warned. Speaking on Wednesday he said just as God gave humans free will to do ‘immeasurable damage' to themselves as individuals it seemed ‘clear' they had the same ‘terrible freedom' as a human race. ‘I think that to suggest that God might intervene to protect us from the corporate folly of our practices is unchristian and unbiblical,' he said. ‘God's faithfulness stands, assuring us that even in the most appalling disaster love will not let us go - but it will not be a safety net that guarantees a happy ending in this world.' He concluded by saying, 'at the present rate humans may starve, suffocate or drown.'

Pray:that mankind will take seriously its responsibilities to work and take care of the world God has given us. (Dt.28:12-13)
