First the Methodists, now the Presbyterians:
On Tuesday, July 28, Shenandoah Presbytery, a regional governing body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) with over 100 particular churches and 19,000 members in Virginia and West Virginia, adopted a Resolution on Mountain Top Removal/Valley Fill Mining that implores the Governors, legislators, and other appropriate agencies in the Appalachian coal-producing states to require that mountain top removal/valley fill mining be stopped and it not be resumed until specific study of its long-term effects on human life and the natural environment has been accomplished.
