On the Huffington Post, Michael Zimmerman has profiled some courageous people on the evolution/religion debate. In his latest post, he highlights the Clergy Letter Project which features a diverse group of clergy members taking a stand for both science and religion.
Unfortunately, as most moderates find out, the CLP writers take shots from both sides. Fundamentalists insist upon their narrow view of a literalist interpretation, while New Atheists attack anything which might favor religion. People tend to reject science when they feel that it threatens their beliefs, so these clergy members educate their parishioners on how theology can incorporate scientific data.
You can checkout Zimmerman's article with the link above, or follow this link to The Clergy Letter Project website. Over 12,000 Christian Clergy have signed the letter and almost 500 Rabbi.
