  • The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion
    57 http://onfaith.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/willis_e_elliott/2008/05/the_good_news_of_identifying_b.html The Good News of Identifying Bad Religion As a pro-choice evangelical, I was saddened by the violentanti-choice (spun as “pro-life”) language of “an Evangelical Manifesto” on this culture-war issue: we on the other side are guilty of “assaults” on the unborn. The anti-choice position is political, aimed at legislation forbidding abortion. But the “On Faith” question emphasizes that this group of Evangelicals aims to “depoliticize the term ‘evangelical’”: Some Christian leaders issued “An Evangelical Manifesto” last week [May 7] to depoliticize the term ‘evangelical.’ “We Evangelicals are defined theologically, and not politically, socially or culturally,” they said. In your mind, what is the definition of an evangelical? 1.....I’m an evangelical theologically, but “not politically, socially or culturally.” In other words, I’m not an Evangelical (a capitalization the Manifesto insists on as descriptive of its position). The Manifesto’s subtitle sharpens the drafters’ identity and stance: “The Washington Declaration of Evangelical Identity and Public Commitment.” Their purpose is “to clarify the confusion” about the word “Evangelical” and “to explain where we stand on issues” involving “Evangelicals in public life.” 2.....Admirably, the Manifesto premises, we human beings must learn to live together with “religious differences” that are “ultimate and irreducible” – differences in “personal worldviews” and in “entire ways of

  • 1 Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We Urge You to Deny Central Maine Power's (CMP's) Applications for Its New E
    Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers, We urge you to deny Central Maine Power’s (CMP’s) applications for its New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project because this proposed transmission line would be bad for the people of Maine and Massachusetts and our economy and environment. CMP’s proposal is designed to provide big benefits to CMP shareholders and Hydro-Québec at the expense of New England. This harmful proposal would: Cut a brand new, 53-mile-long corridor across Maine’s western mountains, harming forests, streams, wetlands, wildlife, and scenic beauty; Suppress the development of clean renewable energy (like wind and solar) in Maine, which would provide greater economic and environmental benefits; and Fail to reduce climate change emissions, and could even increase them. Please reject CMP’s NECEC proposal. Its costs to our people and environment are too great. Maine and Massachusetts deserve better. Sincerely, 1 Mary Bennett Abbot Maine 2 Patricia Ladd Abbot Maine 3 Lisa Brown Abbot Maine 4 Peter Roderick Abbot Maine 5 Jaco Deertrack Abbot Maine 6 Adele Scritchfield Acton Maine 7 Vicki Bragg Acton Maine 8 Kelsey Pelletier Acton Maine 9 Adele Scritchfield Acton Maine 10 Gayle Munro Acton Maine 11 Bryant Jackson Acton Maine 12 Ann MacEachern Acton Maine 13 Patricia Harris Albany Twp Maine 14 Gail Leidel Albany Twp Maine 15 Nolan Meunier Albany Twp Maine 16 Pamela Chodosh Albany Twp Maine 17 Mac Davis Albany Twp Maine 18 Jonathan Sabins Albany Twp Maine 19 Roger Leidel Albany Twp Maine 20 Bonnie Pooley Albany Twp
