Spirit In ActionEach week, Spirit In Action brings you stories of people living lives of fruitful service, of peace, community, compassion, creative action and progressive efforts. We'll trace the spiritual roots that support and nourish them in their service. Above all, we'll seek out Light, Love and Helping Hands, being shared between our many neighbors on this planet, hoping to inspire and encourage you to sink deep roots and produce sacred fruit in your own life.
Spirit In Action is an hour of interviews with those providing leadership in peace, justice and "good works", interspersed with relevant music.
The theme music is "The Turning of the World" performed by Sara Thomsen (written by Ruth Pellham) and "I Have No Hands But Yours" by Carol Johnson

Holy Terror: Lies the Christian Right Tells Us to Deny Gay Equality |
(8/26/2012) |

Mel White is an eloquent, incisive, and compassionate voice exposing the lies of the Christian Right. This is something he knows from the inside, having ghost-written "autobiographies" for Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and others, before he accepted his homosexualtity as a gift from God, rather than a sin to be obliterated. In Holy Terror: Lies the Christian Right Tells Us to Deny Gay Equality, Mel examines the history, tactics, and goals of the religious right, exposing the ways in which homosexuality is used as a political tool and wedge issue. Mel is a co-founder of Soulforce, an organization committed to freedom for LGBTQ people from religious and political oppression through relentless nonviolent resistance.
