The Interfaith Power and Light movement, a coalition of Southern churches, is seeking to inspire its flock to be better stewards of the land. Some churches are screening “An Inconvenient Truth” to their congregations while others are conducting workshops that encourage churchgoers to calculate their carbon footprint and pledge to reduce it by 10%.

The movement is spreading throughout the South as more evangelicals begin to embrace environmental issues. Finally, a faith-based initiative that doesn’t rely on turning a blind eye to science. Hallelujah!
