Dear Herald readers 16 year old Greta unberg took world leaders to task for their ‘betrayal’ of young people through their inertia over the climate crisis at a United Nations summit that failed to deliver ambitious new commitments to address dangerous global heating. unberg has every right to be angry at many words but little action and it was sad but predictable to see her mocked by some including some in positions of power. When were you last passionate and angry about something – perhaps an injustice or a breach of trust of some kind? e Bible has a tradition of speaking truth to power and many of the prophets of the Old Testament were ignored or worse hunted down. We need people who listen and especially listen to the hopes and the fears of our young people without patronising them. I worry about the future which we are making for generations to come and perhaps it is time to give more power to them to realise a better society for us all. ese words from the Bible encourage us to trust them: “May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace” (Psalm 144:12 (ESV) Yours faithfully Eddie Boon Minister, Cornerstone Church Hythe A new cemetery in Calshot was opened by New Forest District Council on Friday 27th September. e cemetery has been created on council-owned land that was part of the old RAF Calshot military base, former home to seaplanes and ying boats from before World War 1 until 1961. e new cemetery is expected to provide burial space for the next 20 years.
