 I remind members of the Covid-related measures that are in place and that face coverings should be worn when moving around the chamber and across the Holyrood campus. The first item of business this afternoon is time for reflection. Our time for reflection leader today is Reverend David Coleman, eco chaplain, eco congregation Scotland. We're ringing a lot of bells this week. It's a traditional call to worship and challenge for injustice and evil. Let's presume I have your attention. What bells can we ring with words? I'm a Christian minister of good news but in Christian scriptures good news frequently takes the form of warnings which we heed to our joy or neglect at our peril. The urgent warnings of climate science are nothing if not God-given. Today I'm attending COP in Glasgow. In the Parliament you can see on the walls of the chamber representations of the people of Scotland who have elected you and whom you serve. But that's not the limit of your calling. There are all those without votes or the ability to vote. There are children and people imprisoned by illness and those despairing that their vote has a contribution to make. They too are the common concern of every human being who claims to love their neighbour including refugees who are and have been vital to shaping Scotland all the way back to St Mungo's foundation of this city where nations have come together so wonderfully and so imperfectly. Excluding those guests, those incomeers, those unenfranchised equals in God's sight, we would be diminished and impoverished in every spiritual and other way. Fellow citizens or not, fellow humans command our respect and love. In Parliament you have attended to many issues of inclusion, equality of the right to marry, defence of racial and gender identities and more. I hope that if the chamber were ever to be changed, that admiral wall with the figures will receive special attention to your evolving vision so that as you meet you are confronted not just by an elephant in the room but the thousands of endangered species and habitats too. Looking you in the eye. In Christianity, and I'm delighted to affirm far from uniquely or exclusively, love of God and love of neighbour are never in competition always mutually authenticating. And with the lead given globally by spiritual leaders like Pope Francis and just as importantly by the 500 plus local grassroots congregations of eco Congregations Scotland whom coppers brought unprecedentedly closer to other faith groups, there is a reclaiming of the permission to see the earth and all their creatures as neighbours, partners to neglect who's care and love objectively in dangers, the justice and well-being of all.
