    Christians and the EnvironmentIt's good to see the church continue to make the connection between faith and environmental stewardship!

    "pro-life"It is mightily discouraging that those Christians who profess a "pro-life" ethic have regard solely for human life -- and many critics would add, for human life as found exclusively between conception and birth.
    Anyway, you can be as grossly anthropocentric as any run-of-the-mill creationist and still think that mitigation of the climate crisis makes sense.
