Evangelicals Urge Congress To Deal With Global Warming

Time Magazine reported that yesterday a group of 86 evangelical Christian leaders, in a move that opposes the position of the Bush White House, launched a campaign to educate Christians about climate change and to press Congress to act to reduce global warming. The group includes Pastor Rick Warren, author of the best-selling book, The Purpose-Driven Life. It also includes the presidents of 39 Christian colleges and heads of missionary organizations like the Salvation Army and World Vision. The group has issued a manifesto titled Climate Change: An Evangelical Call for Action, and it plans to launch a television ad campaign on Fox, CNN and local channels in nine states.
