Okay, that title may be exagerating a little bit, but I couldn't help but name an entry that after reading that the Bishop of London has declared it sinful for people to contribute to climate change.

Chartres, the third most senior bishop in the Church of England, has declared his views as it prepares to publish Treasures on Earth, a booklet on environmental matters to be sent to every diocese for distribution... the booklet will say that scientific research supporting predictions that the earth faces serious climate change is “overwhelming”. It will also detail practical ways for Christians to cut their carbon emissions, at church and at home, including trying to walk or cycle to communion.

Maybe Tim in Anchorage will start to see less cars and more bikes in the Church parking lot (hypocritical, anyone?) now.

It's also really cool (also courtesy of Tim) that the parents of Floyd Landis, the cyclist who made that huge comeback to win the Tour de France a few days ago, couldn't watch their son because they don't own a TV. They do bike to church though!
