UUA President Joins Cyber-March on Global Warming

UUA President William G. Sinkford has lent his support to a cyber-march on global warming . The virtual march is an effort to "a non-political effort to bring all Americans together in one place, proving there is a vast consensus that global warming is here now and it is time for our country to start addressing it. With the support of leading scientists, political and religious leaders, prominent Americans and concerned citizens, the Virtual March on Washington will move across the United States via the Internet from one town to the next, showing the evidence of global warming's alarming affects, and highlighting real people's concerns and real solutions along the way."

In his statement, Sinkford says, "I join this cyber march against global warming, and encourage other Unitarian Universalists to do so, because it is an act of faith to speak out on behalf of our earth. For hundreds of years, our theology has been radically incarnational--we do not understand the Holy to be separate from this life, on this planet, made manifest in concrete acts of caring for one another in our mutual vulnerability. As we sing out praises for the beauty of the earth, we also sing out commitment to protect that beauty." 

Sinkford, who is appealing to Unitarian Universalists to participate in the virtual march, is joined in his support of this effort by a diverse group of religious leaders, politicians, and public figures, including Sens. John McCain and Joseph Lieberman, General Wesley Clark, Rabbi David Saperstein, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and former Vice President Al Gore.
