"Mother's
Peace Day"
I
want to honor the mothers of Afghanistan by calling for a renewed commitment
to a peaceful and democratic Afghanistan
that empowers women to participate on equal
footing with men in the rebuilding of their
nation.

Faith
in Action "The
Eco-Footprint of War"
The
manufacture, testing, and use of weapons mandated
by our permanent war economy continue to fracture
our relationship with the Earth.

"Trimming the Fat and Hanging Up the Bow"
In spite of its many cruelties, the recession
has spurred renewed focus on federal spending
priorities, and many agree that the Pentagon
is the place to trim the fat. |
 |
Faith
in Action "The
election of my generation" Our moment,
when all things were possible, and the power
of our democracy was demonstrated not by military
might "spreading democracy abroad,"
but by millions upon millions exercising our
moral obligation to vote. |

Faith
in Action Finding
a new way in this season of change and renewal
As the autumn leaves flame and fall
down around us and the economic storm churns,
it occurs to me that we’ve made the same terrible,
tragic mistake as Babel’s
builders. |
 |
Faith
in Action Seven
Years of Famine in the Land
The bottom line is simply this: pouring money into George
W. Bush's war on terror has not made
us any safer in the last 7 years. And
his economic policies that turned a
robust surplus into mounting debt have
weakened our nation from the inside
out.

Faith
in Action In
Desperate Need of Remembering
We
need to begin now, urging presidential
and congressional candidates to pursue
peace, depart from the doctrine of preemptive
war, and wipe nuclear weapons from the
face of the earth.
