Conference on Spiritual Activism
Help Create a Network of Spiritual Activists:
The Best Way To Beat Bush
Conference on Spiritual Activism
July 20-23
Berkeley California
sponsored by the University of California Peace and Conflict Studies Program and by the Tikkun Community.
The goal of the conference is to create a Network of Progressive Spiritual Activists who will work to a. challenge the anti- religious and anti-spiritual biases in liberal culture b. create a Prophetic Spiritual Agenda for American politics which will help liberal and progressive forces re-think the way they address the central issues facing our society, integrating into our search for a world of peace, social justice and ecological sanity some of the wisdom of the religious and spiritual communities and thereby reshaping the public discourse in ways that are respectful to secularists but also respectful to those rooted in religious and spiritual traditions; and c. challenge the misappropriation of God and religion to serve the purposes of hatred, war, and the selfishness of the wealthy while ignoring the plight of the poor and the powerless.
