Earth Day?!

Yesterday was “Earth Day”?! Man, I need to really work on becoming more environmentalistic (if that’s even a word). Here’s a tasty quote from the embattled Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals:

“A new moral awakening is sweeping our land. It’s a re-awakening to the heart of the Gospel ethic: to steward the natural world in order to preserve for ourselves and future generations a beautiful, rich, and healthy environment. It is ‘revision-ing’ our lives. Taking part in ‘Earth Day’ is a response to this new calling.”

Here’s a nice defense of Mr. Cizik from the editors of Christianity Today. Good on ‘em.
