Boiling Point
A Conference on Global Climate Change
Saturday, October 27, 2007
People's temperatures soar when discussion shifts to global climate change. At our autumn conference, "Boiling Point,"
New Wine hopes to create an atmosphere where cool logic and open, refreshing dialogue prevail among those of various opinions.
Some of the key questions we will be discussing include: Does global climate change exist? If so, how much of a factor
does human consumption play? What can or should we do about it? Keynote speakers include Rev. Richard
Cizik, Vice President
for Governmental Affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals and Peter Illyn, Executive Director of
Restoring Eden.
The day will include workshops, a moderated discussion, and opportunities to interact and network with exhibitors on issues
related to environmental stewardship. As Christ-followers committed to having one finger on the pages of the Bible and
another on the bold print of the daily news, you will want to join us for this important and timely discussion on the
global climate change debate. We look forward to seeing you there!
