As someone who takes the Bible seriously, I understand the basic meaning of human life to be about taking care the rest of creation as divine "image bearers," viceroys, representatives. Protecting creatures and ecosystems and empowering them to flourish -- that's what humans were made to do.

No other issue--except maybe the threat of nuclear holocaust--can compare on the scale of global and generational significance.

Voting my values means voting in alignment with the fundamental human vocation to care for God's good creation.

If only we had some good research into what's been happening on the church planting scene there... ;) https://www.amazon.com/Church-Planting-Post-Christian-Soil-Theology/dp/0190673648/

Seattle is the least-religious large metro area in the U.S. In the Seattle metro area, a majority of adults never attend religious services, or go less than once a year, FYI Guy writes. But data reveals something about WA that may be surprising.
