We are currently in Minneapolis at the Soulforce action involving the 219th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  We have a great team here including very tenured and wonderful Soulforce volunteers and staff, Bill, Cris, Doug, Helene, Jeaneane, Kara and LuAnn and people brand new to our work, including our new Board Member elect, Peter Drake.  Jason Conner and David Coleman, Equality Riders, are also here on the ground doing a fantastic job rallying volunteers from throughout the city.  As of 5 p.m. yesterday, we have contacted more than 30 organizations representing more than 5000 people with an invitation to send representatives to the action. Joe Rattan did a fantastic job designing the materials for the Pray In and Brian Murphy has done a stellar job with our web site in providing current information.   I want to express my deep appreciation to everyone who worked so hard on this action.

We want you to be able to visualize what we are doing and ask you to pray for us and for those who have been invited to join us.
