Group of Evangelical Christians Supports Endangered Species Act

A group of evangelical Christians is urging support of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), according to a January 31 article in

The New York Times. Dr. Calvin DeWitt, who helped found the Evangelical Environmental Network, said in the article that the Endangered Species Act is “the Noah’s Ark of our day” and that “Congress and special interests are trying to sink it.” The Evangelical Network, representing over 1,000 local churches, has launched a nationwide drive to create “Noah” congregations that are pledged to support endangered species.
