On a journey through Alaska, can Evangelicals and scientists find common ground?

In August, NOW traveled with an unlikely alliance of Evangelical Christians and leading scientists to witness the breathtaking effects of global warming on Alaska's rapidly-changing environment. Though many in the Evangelical community feel recognition of global warming is in opposition to their mission, the week-long trip inspired new thinking on the relationship between science and religion and on the moral responsibility to protect the planet. Travel with NOW and the expeditionary group on a breathtaking and surprising journey to find common ground between earth and sky.

"Despite having some differences on some well known issues, our two communities clearly shared a deep and fundamental reverence for life on Earth and a profound concern about what human activity was doing to it,"
write Dr. Eric Chivian and Reverend Richard Cizik for NOW.

At NOW Online, read an essay co-authored by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning scientist and the Evangelical leader, Dr. Chivian and Reverend Cizik respectively, both of whom were on the trip. Also, see amazing photographs from their journey.
