Clear Voice Network
– “In a time when historic Baptist principles, freedoms and tradition need a clear voice. . . ”
Those words from our Covenant define who we are as Alliance of Baptists. For many advocate groups, having progressive Baptists join in their efforts is encouraging. You now have an opportunity to participate more fully in being a “clear voice.” We are setting up an email rapid response network through Alliance members and friends.
This Clear Voice Network will be used for targeted and occasional requests for you to communicate with your Members of Congress or Senators, or your own state legislators. We promise to pass on to you only a few of the many requests that come to the Alliance from various advocacy groups that share our passion for: “justice with and for those who are oppressed; care for the earth; and work for peace” to quote from our covenant. The few that we pass on will reflect either core principles of the Alliance or stem from resolutions or other statements we have passed or supported.
If you are interested in participating, please sign up by emailing: peaceandjustice@allianceofbaptists.org.
