Liberal Christian Groups Increase Activism on Public Issues

The Wall Street Journal today reports on a new political activism by progressive and liberal Christians. For example, a recent ad campaign by the American Values Network on Christian and country music stations in ten states encouraged support for federal legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, framing support in religious terms. Another coalition of Christian groups is about to begin an ad campaign supporting health care reform. Conservative Christian groups, such as the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation which rejects concerns about global warming, are organizing in opposition. [Thanks to Steven H.
