This is so good! It brought back (bad) memories of being raised in a church that did not teach the importance of taking care of our planet and recognize the immense responsibility God gave us when he put us in the garden to work it and take care of it.
Thank you for writing this. I love the references to different authors who have written about the climate crisis. The split between the church and science has been here for awhile-Think Scopes trial.
However, it has been since the development and strengthening of the Evangelical Industrial Complex(Skye Jethani term) starting in the late 1970s that the rift has become an unnavigable canyon.
The early and ongoing donors and benefactors of the Evangelical Industrial Complex have been oil and gas magnates. (Sarah Posner, Katherine Stewart, and others).

Courtney is such a gifted writer and this topic is so timely! I simply cannot wait to hold her book in my hands!
This gives several good authors to read, and be calming.

Posner wrote extensively on the benefactors. Stewart talks about it as well.
