Christian environmental group appoints new exec

[moobu2]

lol this isn’t satire either.

The Cornwall Alliance advocates a biblical approach to environmental issues such as the issue of alleged "man-made climate change." They believe that Christians should take care of the environment around them, but at the same time never place the environment above humanity. Now the organization is welcoming its newest member, Shannon Royce, who will serve as executive director.

Dr. E. Calvin Beisner is the national spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance. "We are very pleased to have been able to bring Shannon Royce on as our new executive director," he says. "Her arrival is going to mean that we will be able to greatly increase our response to requests for guidance on how to be good stewards of creation.'

Beisner says Royce brings with her a tremendous background of public policy, as well as 25 years' experience in the pro-life/pro-family movement.

Royce was the founding executive director of the Arlington Group, a coalition of pro-family organizations, and at one time headed up the Washington, DC, office of the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy arm. She argues that the environmental view that people are the problem is "unbiblical."

"Environmental stewardship and care for the poor are deeply biblical issues," she states in a press release, "but secular environmentalism has increasingly set its sights on limiting development and reducing human population."

1. It seems to be a conservative group that mouths environmental platitudes and attempts to "debunk"

Southern Baptists launch skeptic campaign to derail climate legislation
Right-wing evangelicals launched a new campaign to attack urgently needed legislation to tackle climate change, calling for "a more biblical, fact-based approach" and urging lawmakers to remain "cautious of claims that our planet is in peril from speculative dangers like man-made global warming." The campaign, spearheaded by the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation and endorsed by Focus on the Family's James Dobson and Republican Senators Tom Coburn and James Inhofe, is another attempt to sully the legitimate concern among signatories of the Evangelical Climate Initiative, which calls for urgent federal action on climate change.

The Interfaith Stewardship Alliance
The Interfaith Stewardship Alliance (website) is also distressed; probably not so much by the hot weather as it is by the positive reception that the Evangelical Climate Initiative (ECI website) received earlier this year when it unveiled its global warming action agenda. In late-July, just prior to Robertson's heat wave-induced announcement, the ISA issued a statement affirming its belief that the jury was basically still out on the issue ... In a recently published report at EthicsDaily.com titled "Signers of Environmental Statement Funded by ExxonMobil," Brian Kaylor -- a communications specialist with the Baptist General Convention of Missouri who also runs a blog called For God's Sake Shut Up! -- revealed that among the signers of the ISA report are eight "whose six organizations have received a total of $2.32 million in donations from ExxonMobil over the last three years." In 2005 ExxonMobil gave $715,000 "to organizations with signers of the ISA document"
