The Christian Alliance for Progress

Subject: Only 30 Days and Our Message Is Getting Out

What a great month! 30 days ago we launched our Web site, www.christianalliance.org with a strong belief that there are millions of Christians around the country who are tired of seeing their faith used to promote a political agenda they don’t agree with, and don’t think is consistent with their Christian values.

Its obvious people are ready to reclaim Christianity in America.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the response of thousands who are excited and ready to stand up for the values that Jesus taught http://www.christianalliance.org/ourvalues and say “Enough!” to the leaders of the Religious Right.

Here’s a small summary of what we’ve been hearing from folks like you and from people around the country:

Wow! That's my initial reaction. The Christian Alliance for Progress has formulated the priorities that flow from the life and teachings of Jesus. How did so many Christians lose sight of these? Hopefully, groups such as yours will help us find our way back to these essentials and priorities of Christ.

Bravo!!! I have chill bumps. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This group is sure to become an influential and sane voice for all of us.
Jacksonville, FL

Thank you for speaking up. We cannot allow right wing political extremists to continue hijacking our faith.

If you haven’t already, let your friends, fellow parishioners and congregants know about us. Please take a minute to spread the word:
www.christianalliance.org

As exciting and encouraging as your enthusiasm has been, we’re also getting noticed by the Religious Right. They understand that when challenged on the basis of the Gospels, their political agenda doesn’t stand up to scrutiny—and they’re curious. In the past two weeks, we’ve appeared on the Michael Medved Show and The David Allen Show, (conservative religious broadcasters).

We’re aiming to raise our profile and will be holding press conferences in Jacksonville, Florida and Washington, D.C. next week. We’ll be letting you know about it and in the meantime, if you haven’t already, sign on to our Jacksonville Declaration and pass it on. Let the Political and Church Leaders of the Religious Right know they do not speak for you. Help them hear a different understanding of Christian values. www.christianalliance.org/declaration.

We need local community organizing to get the word out and begin building forces in your area. Let us know if you are interested in leading that effort. info@christianalliance.org

We’re so glad you’re joining us in this journey, and we’re looking forward to Reclaiming Christianity together.

Sincerely,
