October 22-24 and 29-31 – Call to Faithful Decision
Weekend: In the two weeks preceding the November 2004 elections,
thousands of religious leaders across the nation, representing the
full range of faith traditions in America, will remind their members
that personal religious beliefs can and should find public expression
through thoughtful and prayerful involvement in the electoral process.
Leading up to Call to a Faithful Decision Weekend, The Interfaith
Alliance will have a diverse, comprehensive interfaith worship guide
connecting the themes of religious commitment, shared core values
and civic involvement. Visit The
Interfaith Alliance’s Vote 2004
page to download the guide (posted around September 1st).
