Dear NY Faith & Justice,
Election 2008 is just days away. Our nation is standing at a crossroads. No matter what the results on November 4, American voters will make history.
The past two years of campaigning has raised issues like racism, religion and politics, gender equality, empire and American exceptionalism to the forefront of American discourse. Some issues still need to be addressed, like poverty and immigration reform.
New York Faith & Justice invites you to join us on an election-week journey as we explore issues of justice and Christian engagement in the public square post-November 4!

In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do "small things with great love," and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereo-types surrounding this 2000 year old faith. "The Ordinary Radicals" is set against the modern American political and social backdrop of the next Great Awakening. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.
Director, Jamie Moffett will join a panel discussion after the screening.
