White Dog Cafe - Table Talks - "The Left Hand of God"

“The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right”
with Rabbi Michael Lerner.

Monday, February 6, 6pm

Having gained power by speaking to the real spiritual hunger of many Americans, the Religious Right has then channeled that hunger into political forms that support war and militarism, cuts to programs for the poor and tax breaks for the rich, and environmental irresponsibility. Lerner presents a progressive Spiritual Covenant for America that powerfully critiques both the Right and the spiritual and religious hostility in some parts of liberal and progressive cultures, and calls for a New Bottom Line to offset the globalization of selfishness and materialism generated by corporate capital. Lerner is the editor of Tikkun Magazine, rabbi of Beyt Tikkun synagogue in San Francisco, and co-chair with Cornel West and Sister Joan Chittister of the Network of Spiritual Progressives (next national conference in D.C., May 17-20). His other books include Healing Israel/Palestine and Spirit Matters.
