“WILL YOU JOIN US WITH

YOUR PASSION AND EXPERTISE?”

The Greater Washington DC Chapter of the Network of Spiritual Progressives is truly grateful and excited by the overwhelming response that we received at the launch of our new chapter & the 25th Anniversary celebration of Tikkun Magazine on March 14th.

*NOTE: See this speech by our special guest and honoree: Rep.Keith Ellison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el6FnrK5_tw

Clearly there is a lot of energy in our nation’s capital and throughout the region for a reinvigorated movement led by people of faith, the people of high spirituality, and of those who foster progressive values.

Tuesday evening we want to hear your ideas about how we can begin the process of:

~ Addressing issues of most concern to you

~ Encouraging the development of a truly  

   “Caring Society”

~ Developing a movement with a powerful

   spiritual progressive voice maximizing the  

   benefit of proximity to the Halls of Congress

   in Washington,DC.

~ Collaborating with other progressive &

                              spiritual/faith-based organizations

~ Creating a strong racially, ethnically,and

   generationally diverse movement

~ Encouraging more interfaith understanding

                              and cooperation among progressives

~ Providing a safe place for honest dialogue

~ Creating a sacred space for shared

   reflection and inspiration

“Our nation is currently in the midst of a great debate, between the politics of hope and the politics of fear. Now is not the time to be realistic – instead we must be bold and courageous.”    

                                        …. Rabbi Michael Lerner

The mission of the Network of Spiritual Progressives of Greater Washington DC (NSP-DC) is to connect and collaborate with spiritual activists and progressives in Washington,DC, Maryland and Virginia. NSP-DC aims to provide a sacred space where kindred spirits; through shared reflection and mutual cooperation, can develop a compelling voice and powerful framework for progressive spiritual activism as articulated in the “Spiritual Covenant with America”.
