Evangelical Environmental Stewardship Becoming Political?

According to David Domke, a UW professor of faith and politics, evangelical Christians are bringing environmental stewardship to the forefront of the political agenda. Mr. Domke quotes Richard Cizik, vice-president and chief governmental lobbyist for the National Associated of Evangelicals, from a recent Newsweek article as saying, "The protection of the environment is a Biblically rooted epic task straight from God..."

While Mr. Cizik appears to be focusing on global warming with hopefully obvious and just cause, those of us familiar with the principals of ecology know that most everything in an ecosystem is interconnected.

Check out Mr. Domke's recent article in the Seattle Times here.
