- ISA announces launch of Cornwall Network at Senate luncheon - Driessen
(April 19, 2006)
Thank you for coming to this important event. I am here today not only as a representative of CORE, the civil rights organization that James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were working for when they were brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1964. I’m also here as an Eagle Scout, outdoorsman, Earth Day organizer – and former Sierra Club member and environmental activist. I say former, because (based on long personal experience) I have concluded that today’s environmental movement is too focused on distant, theoretical problems like global warming … pays too little attention to real, immediate, life-or-death… CA

We went up the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail to Lake of the Clouds. It was a bright sunny day and relatively warm for April in New Hampshire.

(April 19, 2006)
My name is Ralph Weitz, Stewardship Pastor for Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, VA. I have a degree in Forest Technology and a degree in Forest Management. As an evangelical pastor I take seriously the issue of God’s command to subdue and rule over the earth. It is a divine responsibility – a stewardship. That word reflects a responsibility of management. The religious community needs environmentally aware study materials that are sound scientifically and biblically insightful. We need to avoid guilt-driven, emotional manipulation that centers on a political agenda verses personal responsibility.… CA
