<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>About the speaker: From conducting a "crusade" against terrorism to </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>applying a religious test to Supreme Court nominees, the Bush </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>administration has blurred the lines between church and state. In her book,
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Divine Destruction, author Stephenie Hendricks looks at how this has </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>occurred in the environmental arena. She describes how a new brand of
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>conservatism has emerged that conflates corporate and religious interests.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Her work has been excerpted in The Seattle Weekly and can be found online
</DIV>

In it, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hendricks describes how the pro-industry movement known as Wise Use -
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>promoted by a secular Bellevue-based nonprofit - has linked with a brand of
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Christian fundamentalism to create a potent, powerful set of rationales for
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>pursuing the unapologetic exploitation of the planet. Hendricks is an
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>environmentalist and a veteran broadcast journalist who has worked for ABC
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Radio, CBS-TV San Francisco, and, most recently, as a producer for Pacifica
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Radio.</DIV>
