Here<\/a> we have \u201cempowerment of women\u201d, \u201cglobal industry\u201d, \u201cdamage being done to our environment\u201d and \u201crunning out of a world to live in\u201d, all of which were secular obsessions long before the church even noticed them. The Anglican Church has taken its cue from secularism ever since it abandoned proclaiming Jesus\u2019 uniqueness in being the only way to the Father in favour of the foggy ambiguity of the fatuous \u201cFive Marks of Mission\u201d.<\/p>\n The Chair of the forum, Archbishop Rowan Williams, agreed saying that environmental issues were bound with issues of moral courage such as land ownership, empowerment of women and global industry.<\/p>\n He said that, considering the damage being done to our environment, \u201crunning out of a world to live in is a mark of our unfaithfulness,\u201d adding that Christians should not consider environmental issues \u201ca secular fuss imported into the church\u201d. Followers of Christ should not \u201cshrug our shoulders when we are asked why there is not sufficient food or safe, clean water…That is not what Christians should be.
