Quote for the Day

"I’ve had people come visit me saying "Pastor, here’s where you’re wrong." I don’t spend a lot of time trying to convince people who are resolutely skeptical. What I do is I try to tell people what I believe and why I believe it, and the people who are persuadable are usually persuaded. There have been a couple of families who have left the church, because they listen to Rush Limbaugh, or Senator Inhofe just going off on this, characterizing everybody who cares about the environment as pagans and kooks. But yet for every one of those there are at least 20 coming up and saying, "Thank you, finally." The younger generation always goes, "Well duh, what took you guys so long?" But yes, I am vilified and attacked by a few in the community, and that’s the price of any kind of leadership," – Pastor Joel Hunter, of the Evangelical Climate Initiative.
