Spiritually Green

For many years the Christian community assumed that 'green' issues were not their concern - but belonged to the realm of the 'New Age' movement. However, environmentally conscious churches and Christian universities are part of a changing trend and growing movement. There is an increased awareness by faith communities that the environment is in great need of attention. The once small Christian environmental movement began quickly accelerating in 2006, when 85 prominent evangelical leaders signed on to the Evangelical Climate Initiative calling for action on global warming. Their numbers have continued to grow.
