Writing, Spirituality, and Social Justice: September 2007

Writing, Spirituality, and Social Justice

When I first became serious about my commitment to social justice and to spiritual growth, I had difficulty determining whether or how the two connected. I felt as if I were on two parallel but unconnected paths. It was through reading and writing, my first loves, that the connections became clear. I will explore these connections in this blog, drawing on my own experiences and work by other writers.

About Me

Name: Argie

Location: Minnesota, United States

I am a mother to a teenage girl adopted out of foster care. I teach and coordinate the service-learning program at a small, liberal arts college in a small town. I am a reader, writer, spiritual seeker, and activist--and this blog is about bringing all of these identities together and making sense of them, day by day.

This "not posting" thing is temporary

Sorry, folks...after the sixth e-mail (but I'm glad people are actually reading!), I decided to post to let you know I'm not posting for awhile. Numerous reasons...one being that UMM AFSCME workers are on strike, which means I have to figure out a way to keep the service-learning program going while also supporting the striking workers...and teaching three classes. Also, my internet access is down again at home, and coming into the office to post on a Sunday doesn't sound like much fun...but I'll return as soon as possible! Still finding time to reflect (or else, I'd be going insane!)...just no additional time to share my reflections.
