In Earth We Trust
The rise and fall of the Reverend who nearly saved the planet. And how becoming a taxi driver influenced him to continue his mission of finding common ground on the issue of climate change.
Fifteen years ago Reverend Richard Cizik had the attention of 30 million Evangelical Christians and was generating momentum for a faith-based moral obligation to care for the planet. This idea of ‘Creation Care’ was controversial, but Rev. Cizik was a media darling, popular with the youth – the face of the more reasonable modern-day Evangelical. Until his ‘radical’ ideals saw him forced into resignation. This is the story of how a man, set on changing the world, went from Vice President of one of the biggest religious organizations in America, and one of TIME Magazine’s top 100 influential people, to a part-time Lyft driver; the story of how he continues influence hearts and minds when it comes to the environment; and ultimately, a story about finding common ground in a polarized world.
