A Greener Spirit: Evangelicals Embrace “Creation Care”

Perhaps the loudest evangelical voice on climate change is the Rev. Rich Cizik. Until December 2008, Cizik was the chief lobbyist for the National Association of Evangelicals – an organization made up of dozens of major conservative denominations. Today, he is the co-founder of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good. “As a biblical Christian,” he said in an April article on Grist.com, “I agree with St. Francis that every square inch on Earth belongs to Christ. If we don’t pay attention to global climate change, it’s pretty obvious that tens and or even hundreds of millions of people are going to die.”

Cizik is not alone. The Evangelical Climate Initiative of 2006 was a major document affirming these principles, signed by 86 prominent evangelicals – including best-selling author Pastor Rick Warren, numerous other megachurch pastors, and 39 evangelical college presidents.
