Faith
community to hold September summit on climate change
|
The
Michigan Interfaith Climate Change Campaign seeks to
unite those in the faith community with a common concern
about the profound impacts of global warming on all
of creation. A major statewide gathering of the Coalition
is scheduled for September near Lansing.
Matters
of concern include:
A
national energy bill in Congress.
A U.S. EPA "environmental status" report selectively
edited by the White House to diminish and dismiss sections
on climate change.
New reports by scientists, urging prompt action to lessen
the worst effects of a warming climate within our, and
our children's, lifetimes.
The
event is sponsored by the Michigan Interfaith Climate
& Energy Campaign (MI-ICEC) and the Michigan Coalition
on the Environment and Jewish Life (MI-COEJL).
