SALT LAKE CITY, The year 2005 marks two milestones
for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They unwittingly settled in a region where
a widespread religious revival created deep divisions in the community which
threatened to tear the Steed family apart.

The signers include Rick Warren, author of the runaway best seller, The
Purpose Driven Life , and the leaders of the two largest charitable
organizations in the country: Rich Stearns, president of World Vision, and
Commissioner Todd Bassett, national commander of The Salvation Army."
The statement, Climate Change: An Evangelical Call to Action, establishes
that Christian moral convictions demand a response to the climate change
problem, and calls on governments, business, churches and individuals to play
a role. In addition, "63 percent of evangelicals
believe that while global warming may be a long-term issue, the problem is
being caused today, so we must start addressing it immediately," Sellers said.
