Yesterday global humanitarian agency Church World Service released a statement that the:
Church World Service is a faith-based humanitarian agency whose advocacy on behalf of the world's poorest communities also represents the concerns of the agency's 37 U.S. member Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox communions. The denominations they represent include the: American Baptist Churches USA; Episcopal Church; National Baptist Convention of America; National Baptist Convention, U.S.A; Presbyterian Church (USA); and the United Methodist Church.
Church World Service also stressed that the:
Religious organizations on the front lines in the developing world have raised the alarm bell over the impact of these cuts. Major corporations and retired military officials, farmers and ranchers, environmental, and development groups have joined in support of the need for this funding.
Will Congress hear their concern and overturn the efforts to gut key investments in international climate change funding? Funding that benefits Americans in many, many ways.
