Links to other sites helping to end
racism and overcome intolerance. (Let us know about others)
HELP: We are also compiling information for a
database and catalog of "all" the organizations (both on the net and not) that
have antiracism (and other isms), anti-hate, unity, nonviolence, or overcoming intolerance
as a primary focus. This list will be published in contrast to the Hate Groups list that
is published by the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) Intelligence Report (formerly
Klanwatch). We are working in cooperation with SPLC and other organizations on this list.
We hope that our list will give hope to those people who want to work to end racism and
intolerance and a feeling that they are not alone. We believe that there are more
anti-hate groups in American than hate groups. You can help by sending us information on
groups for this list. Please include as much as you can of the following:
Organization Name, Contact Name, Address, Phone, Fax, E-mail, Website URL, Mission
statement, and any other pertinent information. Electronic data is appreciated. If you
only have partial informaton send it anyway and we will try to track down a full listing.

the dignity of humankind, retards the unfoldment of the potentialities of its victims,
corrupts its perpetrators and blights human progress; that the patterns of thinking and
behaving which constitute racism have been learned; that racism is marked by an imbalance
in economic, political and social power in favor of some racial, ethnic and cultural
groups and at the expense of others; that an increase in awareness of the development and
per petuation of racism will lead to its elimination and the development of a just and
peaceful world; and that the struggle against racism, first and foremost, be waged in the

| What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality
Alternate Link
Click on the Book To Purchase it Now.
|
[Pittsburgh, PA, USA] In America, it is widely taught that hating Gays and Lesbians is perfectly acceptable behavior. Hate and loathing of Homosexuals is even
preached directly from the pulpit of many churches in the United States, with horrific results.
And now the time has come for all of that to end. Daniel Helminiak has published a book titled: What the Bible Really Says about
Homosexuality. His work, along with the research of top scholars shows that those who perceive Bible passages as
condemning homosexuality are being misled by faulty translation and poor interpretation.
Daniel A. Helminiak, Ph.D., respected theologian and former Roman Catholic priest, explains in a clear fashion the fascinating new insights of
these scholars.
Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of
another. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.

Awareness Program - Mennonite Central Committee U.S. |
The Racism Awareness Program (RAP) provides

guide RAP's work: 1) Racism, defined as race prejudice plus access to institutional
power, continues to actively oppress people of color throughout North America in both
church and society. 2)The church and its institutions are mandated by the Gospel to engage
in a ministry of reconciliation. The response to this mandate needs to be grounded in the
belief that racial reconciliation does not come about without racial justice. 3) Due to
the particular realities of systemic power and white-skin privileges, European-Americans
in North America carry primary responsibility for the work of
dismantling racism. To maintain integrity for this work, white people need to be
accountable to people of color. This site includes the video and study guide, "Free

Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity. |
