About the speaker: From conducting a "crusade" against terrorism to 
 
applying a religious test to Supreme Court nominees, the Bush 
 
administration has blurred the lines between church and state. In her book, 
 
Divine Destruction, author Stephenie Hendricks looks at how this has 
 
occurred in the environmental arena. She describes how a new brand of 
 
conservatism has emerged that conflates corporate and religious interests. 
 
Her work has been excerpted in The Seattle Weekly and can be found online 
 
at _http://www.seattleweekly.com/news/0544/051102_news_divine.php_ 
(http://www.seattleweekly.com/news/0544/051102_news_divine.php) .  In it, 
 
Hendricks describes how the pro-industry movement known as Wise Use - 
 
promoted by a secular Bellevue-based nonprofit - has linked with a brand of 
 
Christian fundamentalism to create a potent, powerful set of rationales for 
 
pursuing the unapologetic exploitation of the planet. Hendricks is an 
 

environmentalist and a veteran broadcast journalist who has worked for ABC 
 
Radio, CBS-TV San Francisco, and, most recently, as a producer for Pacifica 
 
Radio.
