Executive Director Alexia Kelley Blogs at TPM Cafe

Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good Executive Director Alexia Kelley is contributing to an ongoing conversation at TPMCafe around E.J. Dionne's new book, Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics After the Religious Right. Her first post is entitled "Gospel Voters' and a Return to Prophetic Faith".

In this posting, Kelley states that "A new movement of Catholics, evangelical and mainline Protestants more interested in speaking truth to power than selling out our faith to win elections is now challenging Democrats and Republicans alike to build a culture of the common good where democracy works for more than a privileged few. We could call these religious Americans -- the new “Gospel Voters” – people of faith guided by biblical admonitions to side with the weak over the strong and to love our neighbors as ourselves."
