| | Christian Leaders Chastise President Bush's 'Clean Air' Policy as Immoral |
 | | In a letter sent today to President Bush, nearly 100 national and state Christian leaders in the country, representing millions of congregants, expressed grave moral concern and dismay over the President’s stewardship of America’s environment and the implications for Americans’ health - particularly for children, women and the elderly. |
 | | Edgar, one of the faith leaders who signed the letter to the President, added that President Bush “says that moral values are a cornerstone in this Administration, but this Administration is failing the call to protect God’s children. |
 | | Citing passages from the Bible such as “defend the poor and the orphan; do justice to the afflicted and the needy” (Psalm 82:3), the letter highlights Christian values of protecting God’s creation, caring for one’s neighbor, and protecting the least fortunate among us. |
