Glad to hear our churches are taking the HC seriously again. I've heard it has been particularly useful in outreach to Latinos as so many of them come from a nominal Roman Catholic background where young people are expected to learn "Catechism".
The problem with this isn't the science or politics of climate change, rather whether or not this it the proper sphere for the corporate church to speak in. Are the best and brightest theologians of the CRC more qualified than our laymen in politics and science? I think not. While the church may admonish Christians regarding "creation care", advocacy of this magnitude is inconsistent with the Reformed tradition.
