Last Wednesday, June 9, in the digital world premiere of "Song of the Prophets: a Requiem of the Climate", representing Living Laudato Si' Philippines (member of Asia Climate Change Consortium), I joined the panel of climate activists together with Christian Aid's chief executive Amanda Mukwashi and chairperson Dr. Rowan Williams, former archbishop of Canterbury. Sharing the edited video message with the beautiful music as background.
The 12-minute piece is split into four movements – Creation, Ruin, Recovery and Redemption – each composed by a different Black British composer: Shirley Thompson OBE, Roderick Williams OBE, Daniel Kidane and Ayanna Witter-Johnson.
The performance included interludes from three musicians playing instruments from countries that are among those suffering most in the climate crisis.
Rapasa Nyatrapasa Otieno played the nyatiti – an instrument played in Kenya, Renu Hossain played instruments native to Bangladesh, and Richard Olatunde Baker played the talking drum, native to west African countries including Nigeria.
The music is inspired by Song of the Prophets: a global theology of climate change, a paper which was released by Christian Aid in 2014 and which was re-published in May 2020.

If Marcos, Jr., was convicted in 1995 for tax evasion, hence, disqualifying him to run for any office from then on, so the infamous "quo warranto"? All offices held since 1995 are null and void, hence, all who 'lost' to him are to be compensated, as well. Interesting!
Nature heals, many times at the expense of those which wounded her. Reaction to stimuli, it is; but beyond stimuli is arrogance and apathy - an imaginary superiority which leads to self-deterioration.
Beyond these fireworks are candlelights and silence. Beyond thrilling cheers and laughters are sobs and tears. Beyond New Year's treats are empty dining tables. Beyond this joy, a painful wail. Today is just another day to continuously demand for #ClimateJustice!
"... let us walk together with courage and creativity on the path of intergenerational dialogue, education, and work. May more and more men and women strive daily, with quiet humility and courage, to be artisans of peace." - @Pontifex
St. Nicholas is a 'bold decisive man of faith who confronted the issues of his day. If he were alive now, he would be concerned with today's issues: hunger, human incarceration, trafficking, slavery, the abolition of the death penalty, even tax abuse." -Mark Wilson, historian pic.twitter.com/DatB…
