Recap blog post by Sally Jo Sorenson of last Sunday's event.
Speaking to over 200 people gathered in the sanctuary of Granite Falls Lutheran Church for a forum on "Clean Energy, Climate and Health," polar explorer Will Steger paused before a slide of a magnificent polar bear standing on an ice floe.
"I believe it's a moral issue," he said, "As a Christian, I believe that these creatures are God's creation and we need to care for them." Read more from our blog by clicking here. Check out a photo album of the event by clicking here.
