It doesn’t matter which side of the issue it represents; no denomination should go to this length to effect a political agenda that has no relationship to advancing our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  I’m shocked that the denomination of Broadus, Manley, and Truett could come to this.

What evidence do you have for this? As a biologist, I can’t say I know a single unbiased scientists who believes that humans aren’t having a disturbing effect on the earth.

Why are so many conservative evangelicals so hostile towards measures taken to reduce anthropogenic global warming? As the above comment states, this is pure politics.

I ask again, why are Southern Baptists so opposed to the idea that humans are having an enormous negative impact on the earth? Surely any religious convictions would stir you to act in the opposite direction.
