What have you learned today?
That transit folks are just as defensive as power folks about their future plans. Power folk, "Oh, we're definitely not building another coal plant;" Transit folk (in response to this) "Oh, we can't build rail where studies haven't been done to demonstrate usership." Oi. And the "green" side of transit wants to build structures that use power and thus coal, hopefully reducing emissions if people actually ride the buses, where the "green" side of energy wants to cut back severely so we can move to other forms of energy without burning any more coal. It's rather dizzying.
What are your questions?
How does the church pick sides in this debate? I'm beginning to wonder if they shouldn't. Still, I wonder how to be winning and loving without being unable to listen. And, as always for the church (just talked to a friend, a third of whose presbytery is seeking dismissal), how do we foster responsible ways of being together in the midst of disagreement? And how do we move forward in that?
