There is a very interesting debate currently taking place among evangelicals. There has been a lot of debate in the National Association of Evangelicals regarding whether or not environmental concern and the stewardship of creation should be one of the important political agenda items that the Church is advocating. Christianity Today has recently joined into this debate.
Some, like James Dobson, feel that this distracts from other moral issues such as homosexuality and abortion. Others, like Richard Cizik from the NAE, feel that this is just as important.
I have been following this debate for the past couple of months. It is a very interesting dialogue that wrestles with the question of who we are as evangelicals. I would encourage you to take a look at both sides of the conversation.
