Saving the environment via the Bible

Do we have a moral obligation to protect the Earth?

A growing number of religious leaders think so, and they’re incorporating that idea into their faith.

On Sunday and Monday, Elachee Nature Science Center is sponsoring "Stewardship and Sustainability: A Challenge for Faith and Science."

The free event begins with an interfaith service at 7 p.m. Sunday at Gainesville First United Methodist Church. At 7 p.m. Monday, there will be a public forum at First Presbyterian Church featuring a panel of environmental ethicists and theologians.
