Washington, D.C. 20002, Telephone (202) 544·4226 June 15, 1987 87-91 Jews For Jesus Wins Supreme Court Test WASHINGTON (BP)--A unanimous Supreme Court ruled June 15 that airport officials may not issue blanket bans on First Amendment activities inside airport terminals without violating citizens' constitutional rights. The high court, in Board of Airport Commissioners of the City of Los Angeles v. Jews for Jesus, held that a representative of the controversial messianic Jewish group was unlaw fully arrested three years ago for handing out literature urging Jews to convert to Christianity Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for all nine high court justices, ruled a 1983 resolution of the Board of Airport Commissioners banning First Amendment activities was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad. "We think it obvious that such a ban cannot be justified...because no conceivable governmental interest would justify such an absolute prohibition of speech," O'Connor wrote. -

A Comparison of American Baptist and Southern Baptist Attitudes, Actions and Approaches Toward Environmental Issues
ABSTRACT Baptist Environmentalisms: A Comparison of American Baptist and Southern Baptist Attitudes, Actions and Approaches Toward Environmental Issues Aaron Douglas Weaver, Ph.D. Mentor: Charles A. McDaniel, Ph.D. This dissertation articulates how and why Southern Baptists and American Baptists have addressed environmental issues during the critical second and third waves of environmental history. With the birth of the modern environmental movement as a logical starting point, Southern Baptist and American Baptist attitudes and actions concerning key environmental questions in American political and environmental history are examined. These include: population explosion (1960s), energy crises (1970s), environmental backlash (1980s) and international ecological concerns (1990s to present). This dissertation argues that Southern Baptists and American Baptists, while enjoying some similarities along the way and despite their shared Baptist heritage, have adopted and promoted very different environmentalisms. The findings from this comparative study reveal that these dissimilar environmentalisms are due to four factors relating to ethics, political engagement approaches, the regulatory role of government and attitudes toward advancements in science and technology. First, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have embraced disparate environmental ethics. Second, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have taken distinct political engagement approaches due to differing theological commitments. Third, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have adopted different attitudes about the appropriate regulatory role of government regarding environmental issues. Fourth and finally, Southern Baptists and American Baptists have held contrasting perspectives on prevailing scientific viewpoints and advancements in technology. These four factors offer answers to how and why these two related historic Protestant denominations have taken such divergent paths with regard to care of the environment or God’s creation.
