Sort of an interesting article about a shift in thinking amongst people in my generation who classify themselves as evangelicals vs the stereotypical / recent history of evangelical thinking on the topic.
The most interesting bit, from my point of view, is that someone has written an EnergyStar guide for congregations. http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=small_business.sb_congregations
Also, Mars Hill Bible Church (in Michigan, not the one in Seattle) has some really interesting sermons from a series they did in July called “God is Green” which were pretty light on the biblical content, but very strong in the helpful ways to reduce your energy usage. (I’m not sure those sermons are still available on their podcast, but I have them, and they are available in their pay per download section of their archives).
Being that my company is big into the solar stuff right now, I’ve been getting more and more interested in ways to reduce my energy usage, and I think that ties pretty nicely into my plan for how churches can improve their usage of technology. (I mean improve by being more responsible with how they spend money on it, and how what they do can impact the world both directly and in a ripple-effect way for God’s Kingdom, and how they can more effectively use what they have to increase productivity)
