Most Americans now believe climate change is real

The Lead

A majority of white mainline Protestants (65 per cent) and Catholics (60 per cent) believe the disasters are the result of climate change, while nearly two-thirds (65 per cent) of white evangelical Protestants believe the storms are evidence that we are in Biblical “end times.”

Both/And, Not Either/Or

Speaking to the Soul

To be absorbed into scripture is to nurture a “both/and” perspective… Great Christian doctrines are “both/and.” Jesus is both fully human and fully divine. God is both One and Three. Great heresies are created by relieving the “both/and” tension with an “either/or” decision.

The Episcopal Café seeks to be an independent voice, reporting and reflecting on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican tradition.  The Café is not a platform of advocacy, but it does aim to tell the story of the church from the perspective of Progressive Christianity.  Our collective sympathy, as the Café, lies with the project of widening the circle of inclusion within the church and empowering all the baptized for the role to which they have been called as followers of Christ.
