World’s churches go green and rally to cause

LONDON (Reuters) – Dire warnings from top scientists that mankind is to blame for global warming set off alarm bells everywhere — but many of the world’s churches have already “gone green” in the race to save the planet.

For Christians, Jews and Muslims, the message is the same — mankind has “stewardship” of the earth which it has a duty to protect for future generations.

And environmentalists hailed churches for stepping up to the plate with a real sense of urgency.

“Caring for the environment is a key part of many religions. Any contribution which highlights and tackles issues such as climate change is very welcome,” said Mike Childs of Friends of the Earth.
