Suggestion-

One thing that helps is to put up a few (or maybe one major key) Bible verses and show how they relate. It makes people feel really good to see that, and helps to lower their guard.

Maybe a good one is where God tells Adam to take care of the world- or some verse about being good stewards.

Subject: [asa] Prayer request

I have been asked to make a presentation next week at a church (not mine) on Christianity and Environmental Issues. I have considered this topic my calling for decades and have my presentation organized and ready to go. My concern is that this has become a contentious issue among conservative Christians ranking (as stated in the most recent issue of Perspectives) up there with evolution and abortion. Thus I am asking that the evening be reflective and productive for all involved.
