Together
with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, His Royal Highness
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and husband to Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II, hosted a special lunch on Tuesday, November 3 at Windsor
Castle.
The occasion was part of a 3-day conference entitled,
“Many Heavens, One Earth: Faith Commitments for a Living Planet,” which
had gathered over 250 leaders from nine faiths to propose frameworks for
future commitments to climate change action.
In accordance with the eco-conscious event, the conference organizers opted for a
vegan lunch, providing a low-impact meal while also respecting various religious dietary needs.
With dishes that featured seasonal, regionally sourced plant-based ingredients, this was the first
vegan
banquet in Windsor Castle’s history. Heaven bless you, Your Royal
Highness, Secretary-General Ban and all involved, for this noble event
bringing faiths together in love of our God-gifted Earthly home.
We
pray that the conference spiritually recharges the world’s faiths and
believers toward meaningful climate action that includes the ultimately
eco-friendly
vegan fare.
