Progressives (NSP), author of

God and Spirit
Matters , and rabbi of Beyt Tikkun

U.S. House of
Representatives Resolution 1078. He
is also editor/writer for the
acclaimed Tikkun

The Network of Spiritual Progressives advocates a
new Bottom Line in
America that takes into

the economy maximize money and power, but how well they maximize
love and caring, ethical and ecological sensitivity
and behavior, kindness
and generosity, non-violence
and peace. Rabbi Lerner shares the chair
of the Network of Spiritual Progressives with Princeton University
professor, Cornell West, and Benedictine Sister
Joan Chittister. For
