Friday, April 15 – A coalition of progressive religious leaders and organizations today expressed outrage that Republican leaders are attacking the faith of Democrats and progressives in a cynical, partisan effort to win support for a handful of extremist judicial nominees.

“Such an action is immoral, deceitful, and beyond the pale of even politics as usual,” said Rev. Albert M. Pennybacker, Executive Director and Chair of Clergy and Laity Network and coordinator for the Building the Beloved Community Coalition. “We call on Senator Frist to immediately cancel his plans to attend the event, and we urge all Republicans to condemn this wholesale attack on the religious practices of their political opponents."

1. Now I know why I haven't done my bulletin yet.

It wasn't procrastination - it was inspiration!

Now, how do I integrate that with the John text (I am the gate, and my sheep know and follow my voice)? Any suggestions would be welcome.

2. Pennybacker is a good man.

Used to be president of the Interfaith Alliance.

He's been an activist on our side for quite some time.

Go, Rev.!

We won't let them get away with stating THEIR faith is the ONLY legitimate faith!

Now, to move on to next Sunday: "I AM the way, the truth, and the life."

4. Go, Rev!

Just don't wear yourself out!

My pastor wore herself out so much, she couldn't talk for about a week, and was bedridden. She thinks she brought it on because her mind and body wanted a rest so badly.

The moral of the story is you have to plan rest.

5. Thanks - it never hurts to be reminded.

Actually, I had a lot of fun yesterday. :)

6. You are fighting the good fight ...

for people behaving as Jesus would have wanted them to behave.

I'm going to fight that battle also. Doctrinally (?), we may not be in exactly the same boat, but that doesn't mean that we progressives cannot network and work together.
