I live in York County, South Carolina. It's an area where 2 out of 3 people voted for John McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham is widely considered to be a liberal (among other things). Since moving here, however, I have been inspired by my conservati…
My faith system (Presbyterianism) is based on the notion that our lives belong to God, not to ourselves or any other entity (such as a nation). You seem to be touching on this same issue in this excellent piece. We have made the mythology of America…

Health Care Shouldn't Even Be An Issue
(An excerpt from a sermon preached at Tirzah Presbyterian Church in York, SC on Sunday, August 9)
I am sick and tired of the health care debate. And if you think about it, we should all be sick of it. We should be tired of the discussions, the arguments, and the political games.

Local Food, the Old-Fashioned Way
I live in York County, South Carolina. It's an area where 2 out of 3 people voted for John McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham is widely considered to be a liberal (among other things).

About
The Free Souls Connection
The Free Souls Connection is an initiative of the Free Souls Project with the intention of cultivating a community of Progressive media producers and users in the areas of Spirituality, Democracy and Ethics.
We invite original written, audio, and video creations in the lineage of Spiritual Humanism, the wellspring of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, forming the basis for a healthy integration of Spirituality, Democracy, and Ethics.
Rev. Theodore Parker expresses this trinity of American values marvelously. “There is what I call the American idea…a democracy, that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government of the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; for shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.”
Come Ministers, Radio Hosts, Musicians, Poets, Bloggers, Cartoonists, Commentators and all artists for the common good!
Let us support, nurture, encourage, and commune with one other and our sacred world.
