Some say the issue today is that “green” is becoming an unstructured religion; but we wish this major denomination would go green. Freeborn Church (and all ELCA churches) have nothing to lose and much to gain. We doubt secular and scientific human behavior alone can change man’s march to extinction. Those with a God touch in their hearts are needed; they could lead by visual example. Our generation has been careless, ignoring the first expectation of the Bible: Genesis 2:15, “to care for the Earth.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer rephrased this from his prison cell, “…the ultimate question for a responsible person to ask is… how the coming generation is to live?” Our questions are, “Are we Christians, solely focused on faith alone and one’s personal salvation, the enemy of mankind’s survival on Earth?”

That is, if our deeds do not matter and we are to be saved by “faith alone,” do we have the right to destroy Earth … as we are doing?
