United Church of Christ speaks out on climate change
The biennial national gathering of the United Church of Christ approved an emergency resolution on climate change Monday, denouncing President Trump’s
plans to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord and urging the church to take action.

Written by the Rev. Jim Antal, the head of the church’s Massachusetts conference and a longtime climate activist, the resolution urges clergy to preach on
“the moral obligation of our generation to protect God’s creation” and exhorts individuals to take political action and “make decisions of integrity on our energy choices.
” It appears to be the first formal action taken by a major denomination in response to Trump’s decision on the Paris agreement.

“It was important that the church be on record as declaring we are now in a new moral era because of the administration and the ways in which it is compromising truth,
” in particular on denying the science of climate change, Antal said.

But he said the resolution is also important because it is directed at the church: “What’s the church going to do differently? ”

Most people of faith view their lives and the world we walk on as gifts from God. [Genesis 1:28-29] As such, they don't appreciate the wanton waste of natural resources, unchecked pollution and unregulated harvesting of God's creation. That is viewed as a "sin" --which is a four-letter word in progressive social and political circles. Well, as the your homework help writer I'd say, everything goes sour once politics or business (or both) gets involved

Hi Alec

I agree... and certainly when it comes to 'religion'.
Although I work in interfaith I am quite anti(established)-religion.

Most of the time I am reminding people about environmental issues and that without clean water and air - we are dead.

What is the "Wilderness survival rule'?...

You can survive for 3 Minutes without air (oxygen) or in icy water.
You can survive for 3 Hours without shelter in a harsh environment (unless in icy water)
You can survive for 3 Days without water (if sheltered from a harsh environment)
You can survive for 3 Weeks without food (if you have water and shelter)

and we don't need religion AT ALL to survive...

Bright blessings,
Morgana
