Deforestation in Haiti. Mothers dying in Madagascar. Coal mining turning verdant forests into lunar landscapes and drinking water brown. What are we as the earthly church doing to stop the suffering of the marginalized, both here and abroad?

Discussion Questions:

1. Who do you think the widow, orphan, or resident alien of our day might be?

2. What is your reaction to the impact that environmental degradation has on the marginalized?

3. Why do you think our churches, our country, and our government are ignoring mountain-top removal coal mining right here in our backyard?

For my bible nerds out there:

Isaiah 1:17
