This was forwarded to me the other day by an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship colleague. As Theresa and I both have a biology background and a shared love for the Creator and His handiwork, we find this endeavor of interest (note: if you haven't already, we'd recommend you place Redeeming Creation: The Biblical Basis for Environmental Stewardship on your reading list):

So why am I writing to you? First, my experience talking with students at Urbana 2003 was a key factor in the decision to begin this organization. If you were at Urbana, you might remember a feeling of dismay that environment was nowhere to be found. I was representing Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies, the only organization that had anything to do with the environment in the entire place - and Au Sable is a school! I had students lined up asking me where they could find an organization that would be able to use their interest, skills and training as environmental studies majors. There simply were no such organizations at Urbana. Those conversations stayed with me, and are a big reason why I'm now the Director of Care of Creation.
