Genesis 2:15 -- The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. We should be "keeping" the earth, as it is a gift to us from God.

I would agree with you that the liberal way of "keeping" the earth is rather misguided (not clearing the brush from the forests of the west coast, for instance, actually INCREASE the amount/likelihood/strength/reach/damage of forest fires). But, the SBC is putting out a paper for Christians to take a reasonable way to care for the earth.

This should be encouraged and up-held, not condemned.

Thank you,

As a SBC pastor, let me say very simply this: those who have perpetrated this idiocy do not speak for the majority of us. Our current president, Frank Page, has grossly misused the mantra of his office to sign this document. Unfortunately, with our convention coming only three months and his mandatory "retirement" from the office, we do not have time to remove him. Rest assured, there will be discussion and I would anticipate repudiation of this ridiculous statement.
