A third world war is being waged — this one against nature.

That was the stark warning from His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew delivered on 26 June as he received an honorary degree from the School of the Environment at Ionian University.

"The climate crisis is not a 'future scenario,' but a painful reality, with the rapid decline of biodiversity, deforestation, pollution of the atmosphere and seas, catastrophic fires and floods," he said.

The Patriarch called for repentance, restraint, and what he described as an "ascetic ethos" — an antidote to overconsumption, rooted in the understanding that humanity is a steward, not an owner, of creation.

General Synod of Church of England has approved plans to introduce an annual commemoration for the “21 Martyrs of Libya” - a group of Christian men martyred in 2015 - into the Church’s liturgical calendar.

Modern day Christian Martyrs, the 20 Coptic Christians and one Ghanian were killed after they refused to renounce their faith. They had been targeted specifically for their Christian identity, and died with the words ‘O my Lord Jesus’ on their lips.

They have also been recognised as Martyrs by the Coptic Church and are commemorated by the Roman Catholic Church. .

Today marks the first time that the liturgical calendar has been altered since 2010.

During the debate, Synod was reminded of the words of the Bishop of Chelmsford when the motion was introduced last year that “martyrdom is a present reality in the life of the Church.”

Concluding the debate Bishop Michael Ipgrave, Chair of the Liturgical Commission, said the commemoration would fix “our gaze on a beach in Libya where the same Lord was confessed by men whose worldly power was small but whose witness has become immense.”

Sarah Mullally the First Female Archbishop of Canterbury said with her social media “The 21 Coptic Christians murdered for their faith in Libya in 2015 died with the name of Jesus Christ on their lips.

Yesterday at General Synod we approved plans to remember the Martyrs of Libya in The Church of England’s calendar.

Please remember to pray and stand in solidarity with persecuted Christians around the world.”

The commemoration will take place on February 15 every year.
