Progressive Faith Blog Conference

I received an invitation today to attend the Progressive Faith Blog Conference. I will not be able to attend, but thought that one or two of my readers might be interested in doing so. I am not a religious man myself, nor do I really consider myself a progressive, but I think that religious progressives are important allies on many important issues. I also think that it's very valuable to have their voices heard, especially in a nation where the dominant religious voices tend to belong to reactionaries. If anyone is interested in attending, click the link above. And please give us a report when you get back.
