“NBC could have asked Democratic candidates 1,000 smarter questions on climate change than this.” http://ow.ly/XdLLW
And yet, as I look at the article expecting some examples of the 1000, scarcely little more time was spent in the article on this quesiton than NBC gave it.* (See update on this below)  I think we have a real problem talking about this, if all we can do is point out how little we talk about it and then LEAVE it there.
This is why I am so adamant about how the church needs to get serious and intentional about providing space for serious and heartfelt conversation and mutual support about how we experience the Climate Crisis, and just as importantly, what we can do about it. It’s a call to accountability to one another, in personal working through how this affects us emotionally and spiritually, as well as how our church can be actively involved in confronting the system and living out positive examples of what an “Ecological Civilization” looks like.
To do this, we have to be intentional about reforming our Christian Education as if we believed that Creation Care is actually a real theological issue. But there are few signs of this. What will it take?

“Update  It seems this isnt really one big article,  but short pieces by several New Republic writers.  This particular one at the top (which led me to believe that the entire, multipage piece through which I scrolled through about a dozen screenfulls,  was one article under the title “NBC could have asked Democratic candidates 1,000 smarter questions on climate change than this.”  but now I see it was just the title of Rebecca Leber ‘s comment or short piece,  which is then followed by many other pieces on different angles re: the debate by different people. )
