Both The Revealer and The Wild Hunt have posts today concerning what Slate describes as, "Jim Wallis' upcoming conference, focused on electoral politics (which, in the press, is always the most reasonable course): 'Wallis' conference this week, Pentecost 2006, writes Edlund, 'will bring hundreds of Christian activists to Washington to promote a Covenant for a New America aimed at eradicating poverty at home and abroad.'" Wallis' "compassionate Evangelicism" is contrasted with "Rabbi Michael Lerner's obviously flaky confab (think concentric prayer circles)."
You know, I'd love to see some Abrahamic cult members (i.e., xians, Jews, and Muslims) get together and start to provide a counterweight for the whackadoodle members of their cults who have been driving political discourse in the US and Middle East. But, in the end. what you've got are a bunch of old, straight, white or brown men who are members of almost indistinguishable Abrahamic cults trying to impose their views.
Mostly, I wish they'd stop this fucking nonsense. I blame partriarcy.
