From the Australian Broadcasting Corporation via Eco-Portal<\/a>, news<\/a> that <\/p>\n The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has turned to the Church in its campaign to halt climate change.<\/p>\n The ACF has formed an alliance with the National Council of Churches to encourage Christians to write to, or visit, their Federal MP to lobby for a re-think on water and energy use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I think this is a smart step. If various churches around the world can frame environmentalism and sustainability as moral and spiritual issues (and I think they are), we’re that much better off. Politics are important, no doubt, but finding common ground with people in social and religious institutions may ultimately be much more effective.<\/p>\n Technorati tags: sustainability<\/a>, climate change<\/a>, Christianity<\/a>, Australia<\/a><\/p>\n
