So should they have their lights turned off? I wonder if they look so closely at their investments into health care organizations that provide abortions. I guess they will now be walking. Can't ride horse they create green house gases. So if they are true to what they are doing they will be sitting in the dark with no where to go.
Protestant Group Votes to Divest From Fossil Fuels - ABC News
A group of Protestant churches has become the first U.S. religious body to vote to divest its pension funds and investments from fossil fuel companies because of climate change concerns.
The United Church of Christ, which traces its origins back to the Pilgrims in 1620 and has about 1.1 million members in 5,100 congregations, voted on Monday to divest in stages over the next five years. But it left open the possibility of keeping some investments if the fossil fuel companies meet certain standards.
"Implementing the multiple strategies outlined in this resolution will demand time, money and care but we believe creation deserves no less," United Church Funds President Donald Hart said in a statement. The affiliated group has managed church investments since 1909.
