Evangelicals and the Environment
I hope I'm not just becoming partisan, but moving to a liberal city like New York has sharpened my focus on just how far prominent evangelical leaders have strayed from the narrative of the Gospel. (To give credit where it is due, this is quite clear to me becuase of training I received from John Wright and his ilk while at PLNU.) As such, I thought I would link to this post by one of my favorite contemporary theologians, James K.A. Smith, about evangelicals continuing to stick their heads in the sand over climate change. Fortunately there is some good news; he posts to a (free) Times article about renegade evangelicals seeking to more faithfully tend to the earth. How far have we strayed as a people when those who seek to seriously follow one of God's earliest commandments must be labeled "renegade"?

Jamie Smith is one rad dude. I hope to meet him this year at either the Ekklesia Project or something. I picked up his 'Live Theory' book on Derrida which looks to be pretty good. He's like, the master (Jamie). Pastor John also says that Jamie's book in the RO series on Speech and Theology is really good.
Peace,
eric
