[Creation Care] a creation care job announcement!

[Erik Hoffner, Orion Grassroots Network]

Here's a creation care job announcement - a rare thing, though  
becoming less rare - but I don't know how I feel about it. NWF's  
outreach to the faithful on this single issue of climate change (and  
I don't know why they use the term global warming below, as that's  
agreed to be something of a misnomer these days) seems to me like a  
rather narrow and opportunistic one, like hunting among the faithful  
for votes when November is coming and then ending the conversation  
once the election is over. How does it strike you?

Anyhow, here it is in case you know someone looking for such a  
position in VA:
