Look what evangelical pastor says about ‘global warming,’ abortion
| He teaches that the Bible mandates Christians combat so-called global warming and even helped to make a tool kit to aid pastors in preaching about “climate change.”
He resigned from the Christian Coalition after the group wouldn’t broaden its agenda to include “social justice” and fighting “global warming.” He works with a left-wing think tank seeking a common-ground “third way” between progressives and evangelicals on issues such as abortion and stem cell research. Meet Joel Hunter, a member of President Obama’s faith council. Hunter is the senior pastor of Northland, A Church Distributed, a congregation of 15,000 that worships at four sites in Central Florida and at more than 1,000 sites worldwide via interactive webcast, iPhone, and Facebook. Hunter has led multiple efforts at changing the evangelical base through dialogue with progressive groups. He is part of a group of evangelicals and progressives who organize under the auspices of the left-leaning “Third Way” organization. There, he helped draft a new position paper, “Come Let Us Reason Together: A Fresh Look at Shared Cultural Values Between Progressives and Evangelicals,” that calls for common ground on abortion, same sex marriage, and stem cell research, among other social issues. “Third Way” is an ideology first promoted as an alternative tofreemarketsby Mikhail Gorbachev after the collapse of the Soviet Empire.
