CodePink informed me about the TV program. I contacted the organizers and "veni, vidi, vici" as my friend Julius Caesar used to say.(joke) EA: I understand very well and I share your misgivings about the interfaith claim, but whatever the group accomplished did not require me to make any dangerous compromise. I am still going to burn in hell.lucettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030477404014229609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-9845263158500385902011-12-28T17:22:39.494-05:002011-12-28T17:22:39.494-05:00EA: Any number of "interfaith" groups in...EA: Any number of "interfaith" groups include seculars and humanists.Edd.Doerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823666641589127370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-77206442766506232242011-12-26T13:26:52.671-05:002011-12-26T13:26:52.671-05:00CodePink is a secular group, it does not define it...CodePink is a secular group, it does not define itself as a faith group. A faith group self-asserts that it is self-motivated by one or more faiths. In the case of an interfaith group, they would not be particular about which religious faith. By doing this, faith groups exclude those who share the motivate for the group, but who do not claim to arrive at that motive by a religious faith. So interfaith groups tend to be discriminatory - against those who do not profess a religious faith. Again, CodePink does not define itself as a faith based group.Explicit Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05501109533475045969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10856048.post-24116649883947323112011-12-23T11:36:12.841-05:002011-12-23T11:36:12.841-05:00Lucette, good for you.

It was an interfaith group: Bill Lucy - CBTU (Labor Leader) and Hillary Shelton - NAACP (Civil Rights Leader) were the guest speakers; Imam Johari Abdul Malik and Rev. Hagler (Plymouth United Church of Christ, I think) were the hosts. The audience was very diverse, welcoming, and articulate.<br />I am telling you all this because it is my first participation in a very public interfaith activity - the kind of activity that you are recommending, if I understand you correctly. It was fine and my comment was even appreciated. Now that the ice is broken, I think that I will continue this kind of involvement.lucettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00030477404014229609noreply@blogger.com
