Welcome back to Engaging Faith, a weekly series of Street Prophets. Here, we seek to have a conversation between the broader progressive community and us religious progressives. This conversation is intended to help us all work together on our shared goals in helping this nation, and this world, become a better place.
This forum is open to respectful questions and concerns on anything within the broader mission of the series. Need details on how to work with the religious left? Want strategies for how to work against the religious right without alienating the religious folks who aren't your enemies? That's what we're here for.
Today I had a very long post, and I feel important, diary planned. When I started writing it, I had momentarily forgotten that the scheduled posting date would be Independence Day, a day when, among other things, I could expect readership to drop. I think that diary needs more readers (and another round of editing), so I'll keep it in the Drafts section, and post a diary that's less topical, but still important.
I'll keep it brief, just a topic suggestion to offer for discussion, we'll probably return to the same topic, give it the attention and detail it deserve, at another time. As usual, anything in the broader series is free game.
Today, for a topic I'll pick one specifically that needs little introduction. Religion in the Civil Rights Movement.
