Network Of Spiritual Progressives

I don't know if anyone remembers this group, but occasionally I like to check the Network of Spiritual Progressives at spiritualprogressives.org. It's an interdenominational approach to peace and justice founded by some of the leaders of the "religious left".

Also, I know housing reform doesn't exactly have the same ring to it as some of the other causes we'll likely be focusing on this year, but it's actually somewhat interesting (at least to me). Obviously housing is a fundamental human right, and Catholic Charities (as well as other Catholic Organizations) is among the largest providers of shelter in the country. Domestically, housing ties into justice issues of education and transportation reform. Internationally, of course, the issues of clean water, disease prevention, etc. Just something to keep in mind.

Paz,

Paz

The Network is actually inter-religious, that is, Christian and Jewish in its origins.
