Russell Moore, at Southern Seminary, was part of drafting this statement <\/a><\/b>from the Southern Baptist Convention about creation care:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/blockquote>\n

In a resolution, the [Southern Baptist] Convention called on the government “to act determinatively and with undeterred resolve to end this crisis … to ensure full corporate accountability for damages, clean-up and restoration … and to ensure that government and private industry are not again caught without planning for such possibilities.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And he even suggests this issue and how folks respond could be a defining — a Rowe v. Wade kind of defining — moment for some evangelicals, and I say “Good on you Russell, and I hope the SBC and all evangelicals will become more sensitive to the green issues.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On his blog, Moore has posted something of a call-to-arms for evangelical Christians to take action to protect the environment. The Gulf spill has the potential to be a defining moment for evangelicals, he says, much like Roe v. Wade<\/em> activated the evangelical anti-abortion movement.<\/p>\n

“Prior to Roe,<\/em> most evangelicals really thought of those issues of life and protecting the unborn as being a Roman Catholic issue,” he says. “Somebody else’s issue. But then after Roe v. Wade<\/em>, suddenly evangelicals saw what was at stake and became involved.”<\/p>\n

“This catastrophe in the Gulf could be that kind of defining moment.”<\/p>\n
