Amelia Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Evangelicals go for the green Christian right turns, sometimes warily, to environmentalism By Blaine Harden washingtonpost.com Feb. 6, 2005 SEATTLE - Thanks to the Rev. Leroy Hedman, the parishioners at Georgetown Gospel Chapel take their baptismal waters cold. The preacher has unplugged the electricity-guzzling heater in the immersion baptism tank behind his pulpit. He has also installed energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs throughout the church and has placed water barrels beneath its gutter pipes — using runoff to irrigate the congregation's all-organic gardens. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6919358/ Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted February 6, 2005 Moderators Posted February 6, 2005 A few years back the church I attended spent about $1,100 installing flourlescent bulbs in its buildings. It electric bill immediately dropped by $100 per month. Quote Gregory
