WASHINGTON — More than two dozen evangelical leaders are seeking the ouster of Richard Cizik from the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) because of his "relentless campaign" against global warming.
In a March 1 letter to L. Roy Taylor, chairman of the NAE board, Focus on the Family Chairman James Dobson and others said the activism of the NAE vice president for governmental affairs on global warming is "demoralizing" the evangelical umbrella group.
"If he cannot be trusted to articulate the views of American evangelicals on environmental issues, then we respectfully suggest that he be encouraged to resign his position with the NAE," wrote the leaders, none of whom are members of the association.
