IN the NEWS - GREEN Day of Atonement?

"Yom Kippur is known as the day of atonement,
when Jews ask for forgiveness for the wrongs they have committed. The DC service will focus specifically on climate change, according to Rabbi Arthur Waskow, who founded The Shalom Center and organized the event with Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, director of the Social Justice Organizing Program at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
"We'll be atoning for the way in which the human race has treated the Earth, especially in the last hundred years or so," Waskow told The Huffington Post. 
While the service is happening, Pope Francis will be making appearances around the city and gearing up for his address to Congress on Thursday, Sept. 24. The Catholic leader's visit comes at an important time for faith communities working on climate justice, Waskow said." HP



Uhmmm...SIN, of which we need forgiveness, isn't defined as by the GREEN Religion---it is defined in Scripture....

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
for sin is the transgression of the law.
1 John 3:4
Q: What is up with all this planet worship???
A: They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, Romans 1:25 NLT
