hey,
as a regular reader of treehugger, and as an evangelical christian, i just wanted to thank you for covering stories like this from the evangelical community (even if this particular online community seems to be supportive of u.s. foreign policy). and i appreciate that whenever you all cover stories like this from various christian organizations/groups, you are not quick to stereotype or lump all christians together.
you are all blazing a beautiful trail toward a better tomorrow.
love and peace and gratitude.

Most heartily agree, and many thanks as well!
Grace and peace,
Don Bosch
