This warms my heart:

At 8 on a Saturday morning, just as the heat was permeating this sprawling Orlando suburb, Denise Kirsop donned a white plastic moon suit and began sorting through the trash produced by Northland Church.

She and several fellow parishioners picked apart the garbage to analyze exactly how much and what kind of waste their megachurch produces, looking for ways to reduce the congregation's contribution to global warming.

"I prayed about it, and God really revealed to me that I had a passion about creation," said Kirsop, who has since traded in her family's sport-utility vehicle for a hybrid Toyota Prius to help cut her greenhouse gas emissions. "Anything that draws me closer to God — and this does — increases my faith and helps my work for God."

Working for God by cleaning the environment. It's nice to see.

From longtime reader, first time poster FICM: 

You've posted in the past about the controversy of Creationism vs. Evolution. This story is about how evangelicals are putting those differences aside to join scientists in fighting global warming. Finally, something positive from the Christian community regarding science!

Key quotes:

"Whether God created the Earth in a millisecond or whether it evolved over billions of years, the issue we agree on is that it needs to be cared for today," said Rich Cizik, vice president of government relations for the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents 45,000 churches.

Speakers at the Wednesday announcement will include megachurch pastor Joel Hunter, who refused to take the leadership of Christian Coalition of America because the organization wouldn't let him expand its agenda to include the environment and poverty.

I agree with FICM. It's good to see a Christian organization taking the lead on preserving our environment. What took them so long?
