Evangelical Boise Church Has Enviro Focus, Too

Item: Evangelicals and environmentalists are surprising allies: Creation care divides evangelicals in Idaho and the nation, and a Boise congregation and its pastor are among those at the heart of the debate /Rocky Barker, Idaho Statesman.

More Info: Boise Vineyard Christian Fellowship Pastor Tri Robinson broke down the barriers for his evangelical Christian congregation two years ago by making it OK to express environmental values as a part of their faith. Now, he’s helping environmentalists break through the walls between their core values and their faith. Church members recycle. They feed Boise’s poor from their organic garden. They are learning how bringing simplicity to their lives can be more rewarding and help them live a Christian life. And their ministry is catching on nationwide.

Question: Would you be more apt or less apt to attend an Evangelical church that had embraced environmentalism?
