Subject: Fwd: The Interfaith Alliance supports Spiritual Progressives conference

The Interfaith Alliance supports Spiritual Progressives conference.

The religious right has hijacked the language of religion for their extremist political agenda.

Starting today, we’re moving forward. Will you be there?

Join us for the important online event Spiritual Progressives: A Dialogue on Values and Building a Movement (http://forum.rockridgeinstitute.org/?q=dialogue05) from May 9th-20th. TIA supports this event because it will help us all to discuss how our values and spirituality can be combined to create a positive political movement. The event, led by prominent scholars and leaders in the religious and spiritual community, will be a first step in taking back religious and political discourse. We will discuss:

• Who we are and why we believe what we do,
• What unites the progressive movement,
• Why progressives of different faiths should work together,
• Why this has been so difficult until now, and
• What actions we can take to promote our shared values? Find out more and sign up for this important event. (http://forum.rockridgeinstitute.org/?q=dialogue05)

Don’t miss the chance to participate!
