The Anglican obsession with global warming continues

Since it no longer believes in Hell in the next life, the Episcopal Church can’t very well preach fire and brimstone sermons, so on Sunday, it did the next best thing: it had “a national preach-in” (whatever that is) on global warming in this life.

I can’t help noticing that the participants in the photo have warm coats on.

From here:

On Sunday, Berkeley’s St. Mark’s Episcopal Church took part in a national preach-in on global warming which linked hundreds of congregations across the country together as they reflected on their responsibility towards the planet and social action.

The Reverend Arthur Boone linked the responsibility for Christians to act on the issue of global warming to Christ’s admonition to love one another. Citing Paul’s letter to the Corinthians “Love does not insist on its own way…,” the Reverend argued that the United States, with 3% of the world’s population, cannot in good conscience continue to consumer 25% of the world’s energy resources. “If we are to love our fellow humans, we cannot insist on our own way of consuming ever more energy,” he said.
