Baptists and global warming: What do you believe?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A Southern Baptist group on Monday released a new statement on climate change. But controversy and debate preceded the release. Baptist ethicist Robert Parham, argued that it is not strong enough. Meanwhile, Jonathan Merritt, spokesman for the Southern Baptist Environment and Climate Initiative, says Parham has it all wrong. What do you think about the statement and the larger issue?
Tennessee’s Sweet Water: Can Ga. Get It?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Attorney William Bradley Carver, working with Northwest Georgia elected officials and others, argues that Georgia has a good legal case for moving the border with Tennessee one mile north to correct an 1818 surveying error. That would give Georgia access to the abundant waters of the Tennessee River.
Should Georgia go for it if that means a green lawn and the ability to wash your car whenever you want ? Or is Atlanta’s thirst unquenchable and likely to only spread water shortage problems to other states?
