  • 11 November 2021, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom: Lutheran World Federation youth delegate to COP26 Natan de Oliveira Schumann from the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brazil kneels down, folding his hands in a prayer for Creation at COP26. On 11 November, as negotiations at COP26 are soon to draw to a close, delegates from the Lutheran World Federation and ACT Alliance join hands under the message of 'Creation - Not for Sale', praying for Creation, and that world leaders will show the courage needed to mitigate the climate emergency, keeping the 1.5 degree in mazimum global temperature increase within reach, while respecting human rights and committing to loss and damage - ensuring those who suffer directly the impacts of climate change are not left behind. The action includes people kneeling in prayer, as well as two corporate representatives offering those same people money in exchange for giving up on those same commitments. Glasgow hosts the United Nations climate change conference COP26, where world leaders gather to negotiate a response to the ongoing climate crisis and emergency.

  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: 23-year-old mother Paulina from Ukraine holds her hands on her stomach in her new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.

  • 12 March, 2022, Liptovský Hrádok, Slovakia: Ukrainian refugee woman Natalia from Dnipro folds her hands as she and a group of other refugees share a cup of coffee and tea together at the Janoskov Dom ('House of the bishop Janoska').

  • 29 September 2021, Tallinn, Estonia: A girl folds her hands during music class at the Kaarli (Saint Charles's) congregation basic school in Tallinn.
