Faith organizations are coming together in Iowa to solve global warming, saying that the problem is an ethical and moral one, not political. Daily Nonpareil Known as "A Cool Congregation," it's part of a growing nationwide effort through the Interfaith Power and Light, a non-denominational, multi-faith organization that has chapters in Iowa and other states. "They believe global warming is a faith-based, moral and ethical issue, not a political one, so they're uniting people of faith regardless of religion to seek solutions to global warming," said Marie Huggins, spokesperson for the local members. A Cool Congregation and the Iowa Interfaith Power and Light were the official sponsors of a recent forum on global warming issues with the candidates for the Council Bluffs City Council. That's just one event the members have hosted to raise awareness of this issue. |
