Live Blogging from Hampshire....
hey everyone! Autumn here at the Hampshire College Conference...There
is so much going on! From fabulous performers to great workshops to new
and old friends! Yesterday at a workshop on "Resisting the Right" I was
asked to define the religious left. I was asked to define the what
defines a faith perspective as acceptable for Faith Aloud. I stumbled
on this question. I did my best to define a perspective that was
pro-choice, feminist, that supported LGBTQ equality and worked to end
racism. I imagine my answer sounded kind of like a jumble of liberal
ideas and multi-faith mumbles. Then panelist Chip Berlet, who is a
Senior analyst at Political Research Associates, summed it up in a few
words. He said basically that the religious left is any faith or
spiritual viewpoint that unequivocally supports human rights for
everyone. This is the common ground that faith, spiritual and ethical
perspectives share with reproductive justice through the work of Faith
Aloud. More later...
