- Notes
- "I was almost speechless after reading the article, 'Ethical investment: "Not just avoiding the bad"' (Jan. 2015, p. 3). How in God's name can so many Christian groups, put in place 'hard screens' that prohibit investments in tobacco, alcohol, pornography and armaments, yet still invest in fossil fuel corporations whose products are driving global warming rapidly toward a climate cliff that has the capacity to destroy creation ? Both the church and British Petroleum must be laughing all the way to the bank after their 'hard-edged' conversations about reforming BP's safety procedures". "Let's give ourselves a great big sjake, and divest !"
