Hello beautiful people of the world,
Since our successful March 18th God Loves Gay Marriage event and the powerful follow up event at the capital on the 21st, Spirit of Truth has been staying relatively quiet. Well maybe not quiet, but less loud. We have been on a drive to develop and strengthen relationships between members of our organization and other organizations working for social justice in Minnesota.
For instance, I am writing you right now from a conference taking place at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in St. Paul where the annual Call to Action conference is occurring, and this year the event is centered on the marriage amendment. Speakers at today’s conference will discuss the history of marriage, marriage equality in the Catholic Church, how to have a conversation about marriage equality and a session on ways to get involved.
Other organizations that are here include Dignity Twin Cities,
and members of OutFront and
These courageous organizations are helping push for marriage equality in MN, and educating people on the various issues surrounding the tradition of marriage.
While we are here we are hoping to relate to the larger community, and get some more videos, maybe some letters to the editor and some distribution of bumper stickers and buttons.
Other exciting events taking place in Minnesota includes the rebirth (not that they ever stopped) of the Occupy movement through the 99% Spring. Minnesotans for a Fair Economy and the Occupy Movement are doing a variety of actions and key pushes for economic justice in MN, and our members have been heavily involved in the planning and coordination of these efforts.
We at Spirit of Truth have also been motivated to get back to some of our core practices such as one to ones, educational discussions and meditative centering. Coming soon we are hoping to start including some weekly yoga and meditative sessions, a book club (first book: The Prophetic Imagination) and may have a weekend retreat this summer.
Please check out some of the wonderful organizations we are working with. They are changing the climate of MN through performance, through education, through voter turnout and through public action.
