Anglican Church Council in Nottingham :: Catapillar, Zimbabwe,& Gays
Anglican Consultative Council in Nottingham
Attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, they have one of these every three years.
This year its been held at the University of Nottingham Jubilee Campus.
Why this is interesting this year is that they're discusing 'ethical Investments'. Most notably, their investment of £2m in Caterpillar. Especially since the armoured version of this kit, is used by the Israeli Army to bulldoze Palestinian homes. Gay issue, attitudes marriage etc and on the last day of its meeting, has called on the Government of Zimbabwe to reverse its policies of destruction and begin to engage in development that eradicates poverty. So, well done guys.

Anglican share vote angers Israelis
Vikram Dodd
Saturday June 25, 2005
The Guardian
Anglicans yesterday voted to urge their member churches to consider disinvesting from companies involved in Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands.
The Anglican consultative council voted unanimously for the measure, which was opposed by the last archbishop of Canterbury and the Chief Rabbi, who fear it will damage Jewish and Christian relations. Among those voting for yesterday's measure was Dr Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop of Canterbury, a council spokesman said.
The vote was prompted by the Anglican Justice and Peace Network, and is being seen as largely symbolic. The resolution was weaker than the one originally proposed, but still calls on the church to pressure firms involved in Israel's activities in the occupied territories. Any company would first be talked to, but ultimately churches could sell their shares in them.
One company that could be affected is the US-based Caterpillar, whose bulldozers are used by the Israeli security forces to demolish the homes of Palestinians as punishment for attacks against Jewish civilians or troops.
The Church of England has £2m invested in the firm, and after the vote a spokesman said the church's ethical investment body would be "looking at whether they should be invested in Caterpillar. Cater pillar currently meets the ethical investment criteria."
The churches' 38 provinces across the world will be asked to implement the measure, but are not obliged to do so.
The former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, said it would be "disastrous" to vote for the measure, in an interview before yesterday's vote.
The move followed a decision by the church in the US to disinvest. The motion "commends the resolve of the Episcopal Church (USA) to take appropriate action where it finds that its corporate investments support the occupation of Palestinian lands or violence against innocent Israelis".
Critics say the motion fails to take account of developments in the Middle East. The Israeli embassy in London reacted with fury. "If Anglicans are to be relevant to the peace process they should choose to engage rather than boycott one side," it said.
Rabbi Barry Marcus, who holds the Israel portfolio in the cabinet of the Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, said: "Moves toward divestment ... will do nothing to advance the twin causes of security for Israel and statehood for the Palestinians."
Speaking before the vote, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, the Rt Rev Riah Hanna Abu El-Assal, told the BBC: "This is the time for some sort of action. The root cause [of the violence] is the occupation and when the occupation is no more I believe there will be peace and Israel will enjoy security."

Greenpeace protest at Land Rover dealership in Nottingham

Greenpeace protest at Land Rover dealership in Nottingham
Greenpeace active supporters take on 4x4 craze across Nottinghamshire
Greenpeace active supporters in Nottingham continued the summer of action against gas guzzling 4x4s with activists outside the Merlin Land Rover dealership in Nottingham demanding curbs on the climate-wrecking cars. This was just weeks after Greenpeace volunteers chained themselves to the production line at the Range Rover production line in Solihull and 4 activists from Nottingham were amongst volunteers chained to Range Rovers in a Manchester dealership. The petrol-powered 4x4 can do just 12mpg in urban areas.
The protest is part of a nationwide summer of action and road users will become used to seeing road signs saying no 4x4s and 4x4 drivers will find notices on their vehicles reminding them of the climate damage their 4x4 is causing. The Greenpeace campaigners also have product recall notices which will be placed in car magazines and action cards to local MPs demanding that they force the Government to take action.
Greenpeace volunteer Rebecca Rothera said "driving cars like this in towns and cities is mad. Many of these vehicles do less than the Model T Ford. That means in 80 years we have gone backwards, and with up to 150,000 people dying every year due to the effects of climate change, we need to ensure our cars are more fuel efficient. With Greenpeace activists across Nottinghamshire ramping up the campaign, we hope more and more people will listen to what we have to say. Most of these climate wreckers only go off road when they park on the pavement but the greenhouse gases they spew out is killing people and wrecking our planet."
The Range Rover is the least fuel efficient of Britains top 10 selling 4x4s. Ford, the owners of Land Rover are aggressively marketing its range of urban 4x4s - cars like the Discovery and Range Rover - to urban drivers. It spent £3m on advertising in London alone last year! Publicity material for these climate wreckers describes them as "astounding. There has never been a Land Rover so focused on awesome tarmac performance."
Protestors will be accompanied by Captain Climate
