We live in times where moral ambiguity can have devastating and even deadly consequences. When it comes to the reality of climate change, there is no ambiguity of the disastrous impact of human degradation of the planet. Just in the past two weeks, a Harvard University study estimates that over 4,500 lives were lost as a consequence of Hurricane Maria. Well over a decade following Hurricane Katrina, white New Orleans has recovered; black New Orleans has not. See a pattern here? The devastating effects of climate change are undeniable, as is this disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable communities throughout the globe.
I believe the work of the Spirit is tangible in the Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investments (MRTI) report. MRTI is asking the 223rd General Assembly not to stay the course, but to provide the opportunity to remain a partner as part of the Climate Action 100+, a newly created collaborative course that brings unprecedented pressure on companies (not just fossil fuel) across the globe that do the most harm to Gods planet. As partners in Climate Action 100+, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is part of a potentially game-changing initiative.
I am grateful for the grassroots efforts that have kept this critical justice issue at the forefront of our conversations and engagements. Within our denomination, Fossil Free PCUSA and the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship have pushed us and, in turn, pushed companies on this issue. We agree with these voices that change needs to occur. I believe that it is these global grassroots efforts that have contributed to the creation of an audacious coalition of Climate Action 100+, and this is evidence of the Holy Spirits creative energy at work in our midst.

I don’t believe in PC traditions, by either definition.
My former denomination has a Green caucus that is more radically nutso than the mainstream of the church. Kerri Allen is a dangerous women with the science acumen of a treefrog.
Not to be rude, but I’m not sure why you said that, or how it is germane to the conversation. I’m sure you know that I know what you believe.
Did I miss where this pastor called for the people to cry out to God in prayer to help fix our perceived ills?
And did I miss the part of the Bible that orders us into liberal activism instead of turning to God?
Keep prayin’ to black ‘jesus’ Kerri!
I’m sure he’s listening somewhere...
These SJW’s come from the pit of hell.
Presbyterian church! No wonder! are they still considered a Christian Church? Much like the Episcopalians, they are full blown pro-everything non Christian.
There is no ambiguity to human caused climate change. Bull!!
Typical Left wing grifter making everything about non-existent human caused climate change. It never changes.
