Now, can we get back to doing God's work?

Those of you who think that Christianity is now simply a front for a bunch of conservative culture warriors need to take a look at Faithful America.

Faithful America is an online community of people of faith which seeks to, in its own words, "restore community and uphold the common good in America and across the globe." It sees as its issues ending poverty, promoting human rights, preventing climate change, fighting hate speech and reforming immigration laws.

Ellen in an email entitled "Now, can we get back to doing God's work?" sent me the link below to a petition sponsored by Faithful America which is addressed to the American Catholic bishops. I was trying to think of how I could give this petition the widest possible distribution and immediately thought of In Progress.

And so here it is:
TELL THE BISHOPS: IT'S TIME TO DROP YOUR POLITICAL CRUSADE
