Clergy Members To March Alongside "Occupy Wall Street" Protesters

[Tony_FLADEM]

The "Occupy Wall Street" protestors who have been protesting the country's economic inequality for more than three weeks are once again marching today from Lower Manhattan to Washington Square Park, and members of the clergy are joining them in solidarity.

The group is retracting the same path from Zuccotti Park to Greenwich Village that they took yesterday.

Police say there were no arrests yesterday, compared to the past two Saturdays, when hundreds of protesters were arrested.

While the demonstrators do not have a common set of goals, individual protesters say they have their own reasons for being part of the ongoing movement.

2. Love it! All churches should return to Liberation Theology - fight for social justice

Liberation Theology is considered one of the most important religious movements to emerge since evangelicalism. It represented a new form of religious and political thought that brought together both the Catholic and Protestant Churches . The movement has often been criticized for not being a truly Latin American phenomenon, but instead a reiteration of European theology. However, what distinguishes it from Europe and makes it a distinctly Latin American commodity is its focus on the rebuilding of the economic infrastructure, the detest of foreign influence, and the move away from the internal fragmentations which held the people of Nicaragua in a state of servitude.

Meanwhile, our State's Republican administration is doing everything they can to delay paying for the food supplies for food banks that is in the state budget.
