In an unprecedented declaration of worry for the natural world, 12 Roman Catholic bishops from the Northwestern United States and British Columbia on Thursday called on parishioners and "all people of good will" to be better stewards of the land, waters and communities within the vast Columbia River watershed. The bishops issued an 18-pagepastoral letter, more than threeyears in the making, titled "TheColumbia River Watershed:Caring for Creation and theCommon Good. [The letter is built] around 10 themes, or "considerations," that urge greater personal responsibility and awareness of environmental problems."
