"A national group of Christian leaders is sending a
scathing letter to President Bush to coincide with
Earth Day, accusing his administration of chipping
away at the Clean Air Act. The National Council of
Churches argued that planned changes to power plant
regulations will allow major polluters to avoid
installing pollution-control equipment when they
expand their facilities.
""In a spirit of shared faith and respect, we feel
called to express grave moral concern about your
'Clear Skies' initiative which we believe is The
Administration's continuous effort to weaken critical
environmental standards to protect God's creation,"
the council wrote in an advance copy of the letter
provided to The Associated Press.
"The New-York based group, which represents 50 million
people in 140,000 Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox
denominations, said it was sending its two-page letter
to the president on Thursday, as people all over the
country celebrate Earth Day. It took out a full-page
ad in The New York Times, scheduled to run in
Thursday's editions, calling on Bush to leave the
Clean Air Act's new source review rules in place..."
Of course, if one thinks that Armegeddon is just
'round the corner, one might ignore possible future
consequences of one's actions.
