[nfbwatlk] What is Faith Talk

[Mike Freeman]

Debby: 

Faithf-talk is the list run by the nfb in Communities of Faith, one of our divisions. The division deals with discrimination against us in worship and other church activities. It was supposed to be nondenominational (including welcoming of Jews)but has degenerated into a list where Evangelicals and Fundamentalists profess their faith to the point that there is now a separate list begun by Jewish members. Frankly, I consider the division a danger to nfb's mission in that IMO it fosters the sort of us versus them mentality we don't need in the Movement. Moreover, to me, worship discrimination is no different in kind from the usual social discrimination we face every day so there is no need for the division. You may find otherwise and that's OK.
