Evangelicals and the Environment

I'm as guilty as anyone of writing off the religious right as a potential ally on environmental issues, but, as Joel Makower points out, I and others committed to sustainability shouldn't be so quick to tar all conservative Christians with the same anti-environmental brush. In the course of looking at evangelical positions on environmentalism, I've come across some other positive developments:

• Some great information at Harvard University's Forum on Religion and the Environment.
• The Rev. Larry Rice's Missouri Renewable Energy project, as well as his essay "As the Giant Sleeps... Creation Suffers."

Would love to hear about other efforts. As Joel says in his post, we can't afford to dismiss this potential constituency...

Update 2/7/05: Both my buddy Doug and today's Tidepool editor have also pointed me to the Washington Post article that Joel cites in his post. Again, I'm having to reorient myself -- it's hard to comprehend being on the same page with Dr. James Dobson and Chuck Colson...
