"In this all important election year, the role of progressive faith will be vital in ensuring the prophetic voices for social justice are heard and valued in the public discourse. At this critical juncture in our history, we should be organized in order to encourage and sustain these voices from the blogging community. To this end, we propose a second progressive faith blog con that we hope will both:

- better integrate our collective voice through organizing towards achievable goals,
- find ways to support and sustain each other through improved social and professional ties.

In order to move forward, we need varied levels of commitment from the progressive faith blogging community. Essentially, it won't happen, unless we build it. And before we build it, we want to make sure folks will come.

Please take this brief survey to indicate your interest:

Thanks for indicate your commitment level and interest. We look forward to connecting at the blog con and online.
