Tikkun's Ten Commitments

Tikkun mag has been for years publishing articles from every faith tradition focused on peace, social justice, and human well being. I just discovered, likely quite late in the game, the publishers of the mag founded a community call the Network of Sprititual Progressives. Their list of Ten Commitments is a marvelous creed, both social and political mission statement, and personal spiritual path. Thier stated purpose is to resist various fundamentalisms and ideologies abusive of religion, the ecosystem, and our sibling humans in both body and soul.

Cool!

The journal and the network project do highlight a Jewish perspective, and this is just fine. The Jewish faith has much to teach about honoring this life first in order to honor the next life and the Divine. All faiths find representation and respect here, part of the mission is to establish and mantain productive progressive dialogue among the traditions.

By "progressive," they mean Progressive. In the hardcore, radical, kick-your-butt-into-spiritual-gear way that Jesus and Buddha and Krishna and Mohammed and Teresa of Avila and Meister Eckhart and Hafiz and Tagore and Irigaray _____, _____, _____, and _____, ......., all meant for us to become and honor each other.
