GETTING IN BUSH'S FAITH
Christian Leaders Challenge Bush Environmental Policy

For a leader who has so explicitly taken on the mantle of the Christian faith, it's an awkward development: On Earth Day last week, more than 100 reverends, ministers, and bishops representing more than 2 million American churchgoers sent a letter to the White House condemning President Bush's environmental record. Cassandra Carmichael of the National Council of Churches, which organized the campaign, said, "This was a Christian-to-Christian letter. We have a president who aligns himself with the Christian community, so as Christians we feel he needs to take a good hard look at the Bible and begin abiding by its principles."
