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.
