Former Vice President Al Gore joined Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Native American leaders at a service that mixed preaching with solemn rituals and chants. Gore said the climate change march through Manhattan earlier Sunday was an example of “praying with your feet.”
Rabbi Ellen Bernstein (BURN’-steen) told worshippers that “the preservation of our beautiful world is our greatest religious imperative.”
Native American Chief Arvol Looking Horse said, “Spirit Mother is sick, and has a fever.”
On Tuesday, more than 120 world leaders will attend the United Nations Climate Summit aimed at galvanizing support for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.
