Reply #68: Checking in

[juslikagrzly]

hate organized religion, currently a very liberal Presbyterian, married to an extremely liberal presby minister, grew up nominally Episcopalian. It's quite a ride being a minister's wife and disliking church! Jesus was a radical lefty, and I get disturbed with how his message has been distorted and twisted over the past 2000 years.

Glad to be here. We've started an interfaith group working toward activism on issues like the Iraq occupation, economic and social justice, election reform, etc. in our bible belt red state. The group is in its infancy but there's lots of energy and amazingly 70 people showed up for our initial meeting.

Any one with grassroots organizational experience here? This is our first foray into the adventure and advice/links would be very much appreciated. We're checking into affiliation with the national Interfaith Alliance as we like their message and inclusiveness.
