Good morning, Regarding the comment that, "It is about time Christians took notice of the atrocities the wealthy have created for the poor.", I would like to encourage all of us to be cautious and thoughtful about our broad-brushed statements - a challenging thing to do! My experience and education have proven to me that members of Christian denominations, as well as members of other religious groups (and not all members, true), have been addressing harmful environmental and social issues for a very long time. They have acted against a wide variety of environmental degradations and atrocities that have been waged over the millennia against all of creation. It is not just the wealthy that have created harm, and it has not just been non-religious peoples who have fought against the harm. It is good that these issues continue to be addressed by all groups of peoples and hopefully, someday, there will be lifelong changes in beliefs and behavior by most people, world-wide, that result in an increase in the wholesome care-taking of creation.

What will happen next? We are living in a fascinating time. It is about time Christians took notice of the atrocities the wealthy have created for the poor. I also like the part about the evangelicals having to overcome credibility issues raised by other enviromental groups. Camille Armantrout ***************************** |
