Church coalitions want greater political action on climate change

It seems Green evangelicals are becoming increasingly politically engaged. Rev. Jim Ball, president of the Evangelical Environmental Network teamed up with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Union for Reform Judaism to fully support the recent Lieberman-Warner Climate federal cap and trade bill. And there is even a new Green evangelical magazine called “Creation Care.”

Now we also have a nascent green churches movement in America. Last November, the National Association of Evangelicals and a U.S. government energy program created the first religious-government partnership to tackle energy consumption in religious facilities.
