Interfaith Perspectives |
| Status: |
Member |
| Description: |
This is an interfaith group who's members are from different spiritual paths and who share their perspectives on various religious topics.
Proselytizers need not apply (our first rule) -- there is a difference between sharing your faith's perspective and trying to convince another participant to switch to your faith.
At the same time, the emphasis is on discussing what you do believe and / or practice, not on what you don't believe, as we are not a debate group (we are not into wrong making, and this is our second rule.)
Our third rule is to share page space in the discussion threads, to allow others to participate, the same way it is done with in-person group discussions. |

Exploring Faith Book Club: The Party Faithful |
| Status: |
Member |
| Description: |
How are you feeling about how religion is addressed within politics? Author Amy Sullivan shares some of her research and ideas in her new book, THE PARTY FAITHFUL about the matter. In the book, Sullivan tells the story of how the Democratic Party distanced itself from religion and came close to losing its soul in the process. More importantly, it highlights essential changes that need to be made--and are beginning to be made--before the Democratic Party can respond to the very real moral concerns of voters, and win the White House.
THE PARTY FAITHFUL is the February 2008 featured book for the Exploring Faith Book Club. Sign up now and join the conversation! |
