Religious Progressives UNITE!

About Tikkun Daily - Tikkun Magazine
(http://www.tikkun.org/)

Everyone knows there is a Religious Right, and its concerns are well known. But how many know there is a religious and spiritual Left? How many realize that it embodies an intellectually deep, challenging, and widely shared response to the world? The spiritual Left is not the secular Left in religious garb; rather, it poses a major challenge to traditional left-wing practice and priorities.

Tikkun Daily aims to serve as a central hub on the Web where people interested in a spiritual progressive perspective on politics, art, religion, and activism can go to put their finger on the pulse of an interfaith spiritual progressive response to the world.

As the multimedia blog site of Tikkun — a bimonthly Jewish and interfaith magazine, founded and edited by Rabbi Michael Lerner, that has published cutting-edge critiques of politics, culture, and society since 1986 — Tikkun Daily embraces an interfaith worldview that is based on the knowledge that most of us share but rarely have the gall to express overtly: that in this appalling and beautiful world, love can be embodied and become the basis for social relations.

Why is this blog different from all other blogs? Read this post to find out. Also check out the Network of Spiritual Progressives’ Core Vision and Spiritual Covenant with America for the inspiration behind this project.

Our goal is to spark conversations within a dynamic, interfaith community of religious studies scholars, activists, seminary students, theologians, and progressive and spiritual people from all backgrounds, building a bustling community of knowledge that welcomes and includes everyone, be they spiritual or nonspiritual, religious or not.

We don’t want to just talk among ourselves: our goal is to engage with the dominant culture. We’ll know we’re doing well when we hear that we have inspired politicians and activists, as well as influenced their decisions by exposing them to new perspectives and drawing their attention to movements they didn’t realize existed.
