A coalition of progressive clergy gathered at historic All-Saints Church on March 8 to call for a new mobilization against the escalating Obama war in Afghanistan. All-Saints was threatened with tax revocation by the Bush Administration for its anti-war stance in 2004. The church has never backed down.
The press conference can be widely circulated as a call to action from Christian, Muslim and Jewish peace advocates.
Introductory remarks were by Rev. Ed Bacon of All-Saints:
