Central London, October 2022: Sue Parfitt, an 80-year-old Anglican priest, is arrested for sitting in the road. It's not her first time, nor the last; and she isn't alone. Christians are waking up to the existential scale of the climate crisis. They are rediscovering the radical nature of Jesus's teaching. They are asking what God needs them to do, and putting their bodies on the line to do it. Why are ordinary Christians breaking the law?
