A Revolutionary Way

Thomas Kelly

I am talking about a revolutionary way of living. Religion isn't something to be added to our other duties, and thus make our lives more complex. The life with God is the center of life, and all else is remodeled and integrated by it. It gives singleness of eye. The most important thing is not to be perpetually passing out cups of cold water to a thirsty world. We can get so fearlessly busy trying to carry out the second commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," that we are undeveloped in our devoted life to God as well as neighbor.

Stop Glenn Beck's dangerous attacks on Frances Fox Piven. 

"Glenn Beck has taken aim at one of our nation's most beloved and honorable advocates: Frances Fox Piven. Piven, 78, a respected professor of sociology, fought for the rights of the poor and encouraged voter registration in poor communities.

Glenn Beck's lies about this woman -- that she advocates violence -- have ironically resulted in threats on her life. "

MomsRising:  collecting signatures for mother charged with felony!

Ohio mom, Kelley Williams-Bolar, was jailed for sending her daughters to a better school. Real justice requires that the punishment fit the crime.  By any measure, this is cruelly unjust. Tell the Ohio Governor to right this wrong.  Speak up for Kelley today! "

New USDA Guidelines Praise Vegetarian Diets

The federal government has issued new dietary guidelines that highlight the health benefits of a plant-based diet. "Vegetarian-style eating patterns have been associated with improved health outcomes -- lower levels of obesity, a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and lower total mortality. Several clinical trials have documented that vegetarian eating patterns lower blood pressure."
