The Gospel of Clean Energy
Christian leader Brian McLaren calls on the country and its political leadership to summon the faith to quit our dependence on oil.
I agree with McLaren. But I sure hope he’s preaching to his own choir as well. This is a country steeped in faith and where faith leaders wield tremendous power for influence and mobilization. In fact, I’d argue that President Obama’s oratory appeal hails directly from the cadence of the pulpit.
Let’s remember that the struggle for civil rights started in the faith communities. And the current call for environmental stewardship is finding champions in these same quarters. But we must galvanize these armies.
Let McLaren and religious leadership across all faith communities help to inspire political action to do the right thing for our health, environment and security through the power of religious constituenties.
That’s what I’d call spreading the gospel.
