Spring Newsletter
Note: The
Interfaith Bridging Initiative publication
Interfaithings will resume in 2013.
The title of Interfaithings, Issue #10
is "Repairing the World."
Given the omnipresence of injustice,
pain, and oppression in the world, it is easy for even the
most conscientious of us to become overwhelmed, bitter,
and/or apathetic. In this issue we offer four essays,
informed by the authors' spiritual practices, that suggest
how we can -- despite it all -- make a difference. As usual,
the essays are accompanied by relevant pieces of graphic
art.
