UU minister Fred Small makes Grist's Top 15 Green Religious Leaders

Fred Small doesn't merely preach about the sanctity of creation: he has organized protests at car dealerships, urged his fold not to buy SUVs, and gotten himself arrested outside a U.S. Department of Energy building during a nonviolent protest on behalf of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. A minister at First Church Unitarian in Littleton, Mass., and founder of Religious Witness for the Earth, Small believes faith groups need to do more to respond to environmental crises. He recently organized a nine-day, 85-mile Inter-Faith Walk for Climate Rescue, during which more than 800 walkers called on the U.S. government to reduce globe-warming emissions 80 percent by 2050. "Living as we do, we are stealing from our children and grandchildren," says Small. "It's unconscionable." http://liveearth.msn.com/le/photos/top15religious?GT1=10227&photoidx=11 http://www.grist.org/news/maindish/2007/07/24/religious/ http://www.uuworld.org/news/articles/22151.shtml
