Some clergy have come out against natural gas development in Dick Downey’s neighborhood and he gently and humorously challenges them to search a little harder for the truth before seeking to convert or condemn an industry.

The “Blessing Aimed At Fracking – Count Clean Water a Gift, Clergy Say” article in the Sept. 6th Freeman‘s Journal (front page, above the fold) reported that three local clergy blessed the waters of Lake Otsego. They then chastised natural gas development, condemned its environmental and human harm, and castigated “a political system in which rules are written by industry and corporate profits are put before people.” This is “not consistent with God’s word,” they said.
