"Volunteer Position Open" (to replace the departing newsletter editor.)
"Stop the War Committee Says 'Now is the Time to Step It Up!'"
(This is an effort to flood Congress with demands to end the Iraq War.)
And please, let us know who you’ve called so we have some idea of our effectiveness. So far, we’ve received five responses from people who called their federal reps in response to an appeal to our members two days ago. Let’s see if we can get all 200 of the folks on this mailing list to respond!
"Time to Hold the Media Accountable!"
Our own Catholic Herald failed to cover our March 24 prayer service or the April 28 Advocacy Conference.
(Isn't one CPJ newsletter enough?)
"Education Committee launches 'Engage! Putting Your Faith Into Action'".
The Catholics for Peace and Justice Education group is offering a program designed to introduce [and reinforce] Catholic social teaching to local parishes.
(Our parishes need to be introduced to Catholic social teaching? Almost makes one wonder What is the role of a parish consultant?)
"Ideas and Resources from the April Conference". (Parish Council and committee meetings too short? Help is available.)
"Anti-Death Penalty Campaign Continues".
The State Council [of the Knights of Columbus] agreed to include anti-death penalty educational material to their Right To Life promotion. Louis [CPJ member Louis Konicek] plans to bring his resolution to the National Convention of the Knights in Nashville this August.
(Shouldn't CPJ reciprocate by explaining the connection of opposition to abortion in its materials In Opposition to the Death Penalty?)
