Title
Flint Water Crisis – Religious Leaders Respond
Description
The Flint Water Crisis has affected a large community of mostly impoverished people for a long time; however, it has only recently begun to gain attention. Pastors of different churches are claiming that the situation displays a crime against humanity itself. Many religious leaders have cited biblical texts to encourage people to reevaluate what is happening here, and to start to take better care of the earth. Some hope that attention to this crisis will help people all around the country become more aware of issues of justice and realize the importance of environmental stewardship.
