$In this photo from Friday, July 8, 2011, United Methodist Bishop Thomas Bickerton talks about how drilling for natural gas in Marcellus Shale is effecting his congregations and the 187,000 members in western Pennsylvania, while sitting in his office in Cranberry, Pa., Butler County. Bickerton is one of several religious and community leaders who last month signed a protest letter that questioned the makeup of a federal committee that is reviewing fracking impacts to U.S. Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu. The letter, which originated with the Environmental Working Group of Washington, D.C., also asked for more community involvement in the review process. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)$ AP - Bishops, nuns and rabbis are joining the environmental and social debate over natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale region, and many are seeking a balance that reflects their congregations.
