The Tragedy in the Gulf

A diverse, profound and unbearable biological holocaust is now occurring in the Gulf of Mexico and, thanks to modern technology, it is unfolding before our eyes. We hope and pray that this seminal event will convert millions of people the world over to the cause of environmentalism.

Please check out the "Green Patriarch" video featured on our website when you have a chance. Father Bartholomew is the spiritual leader of 300 million orthodox Christians worldwide and is the first religious leader of his stature to pronounce the destruction of the environment as a "sin" to be confessed, repented, and ended. When the leaders of the world's other major religions follow suit, the majority of the world's approximately seven billion human beings will be enjoined to preserve the biosphere. Where the governments of many nations who gathered together in Copenhagen and Kyoto were unable to unite and act to halt environmental destruction, the world's religious leaders might succeed. We at Ecoversity are very encouraged by the activism of the Ecumenical Patriarch, also known as the "Green Patriarch", Father Bartholomew.
