Fracking Southern Illinois
Faithful Opposition

This special half hour documentary explores the critical ethical questions behind hydraulic fracking. Produced by Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries and Tim Frakes Productions.

Every person on earth depends on oil, natural gas, and water for transportation, heating, cooking and countless daily tasks, but is our expanding consumption of energy resources a violation of environmental ethics, a human folly, sin?

Recent advances in oil and natural gas extraction, that uses millions of gallons of ground water, known as hydraulic fracking, have turned southern Illinois and its vast resources into a battleground.

The fight is between corporate interests, who want to extract enormous amounts of formerly inaccessible oil and natural gas and point to economic benefits from the process, and their opponents, who warn of environmental dangers: contamination of ground water, depletion of fresh water, risks to air quality, and migration of hazardous chemicals to the surface.

Join us on Sanctuary for some startling facts, from experts close to the pulse, who will challenge what you t think about your politics and your faith.

For those outside the Chicago market or for those who miss the broadcast, you may view the full program at www.gcbm.org or www.frakesproductions.com following the broadcast.
