Bishops Decry Environmental Policies

Susan Bower, my dear friend from Heyfork, Ca, and passionate environmentalist grounded in her Christian faith, was my partner in this letter.  The letter was an outgrowth of the Declaration of Interdependence Project, and was signed by 19 bishops.  The letter was sponsored and publicized by the Florida Council of Churches.

Wild Sky Wilderness, Clergy Letter

I was attending library meetings with Wild Sky activists, and seeing the letters from various constituent groups - business leaders, political leaders, hikers, equestrians, etc, when the idea of a clergy letter came to me.  We were living on a property looking out towards the proposed Wilderness, a constant reminder of what was at stake.  Many emails and phone calls led to 105 clergy signing on from every corner of the state, and to the sponsorship  by the Washington Association of Churches.
