In this era, Southern Seminary must again have a prophetic voice among the populists (as moderates did on the issue of civil rights in the 1970s). A temptation to Southern Baptists in the next generation will be to speak to issues because of how well received they are in the culture around them.
The issue of the care of the environment is one such issue. Should the church speak to environmental stewardship: yes. Can such a discussion lead to discussion about evangelism and the Gospel: no.
WHY NOT?!?! If our life isn't our evangelism, then WHAT'S THE POINT???

UPDATE: Answer Disavowal back:
Don,
I am not the best man to answer this question. I didn't create the presentation, I was just reporting on the event. Sorry I can't be of more help!
Thanks, Garrett
