Finding Solutions To Our Nation’s Growing Energy Crisis

Posted on Jun 16, 2010 - 01:19 PM

On Tuesday, June 15, 2010, President Obama addressed the world from the Oval Office regarding the devastation our nation’s Gulf Coast areas are experiencing due to the BP oil spill. Following President Obama’s 18 minute speech the news media had a festive field day and failed to “get it.” Whether you like President Obama or not, his insistence on sweeping change in our energy policies is literally a matter of life or death for our planet and all of humanity.

Are you interested in “hope” instead of “doom”? Is there really a way for us to relinquish our dependency on foreign and domestic oil? Have you every heard of POET or visited their website? I encourage you to click HERE and discover our future in POET (The Potential Of Ethanol). It is our great hope.

We have a choice.

Here's what real people have to say about what 'Progressive Christianity' means to them:

Progressive Christianity encourages a spirituality that offers maturity, depth, and wisdom. It invites compassion.
One who does not quote Biblical chapters and verses, but who tries to live Christ’s message of compassion and justice.
Progressive Christians are liberated Christians who can think for themselves & not
have the church think for them.
Progressives refuse to participate in a theology of patriarchy that hold women in spiritual vassalage.
A profound faith focused more on justice than judgment; where all are allowed to participate as is their birthright as children of God.
