Center for Partnership Studies http://www.partnershipway.org/
The Center arose out of a
grassroots response to the partnership model, as introduced in The Chalice
and the Blade by Riane Eisler, published by Harper & Row in May 1987.
The partnership model consists of a way of organizing society based on
partnership not only between individuals, between women & men, but also
between nations & between people & nature. This model is deeply rooted
in ancient traditions which are being reclaimed through movements such as
ecology, peace, feminism and other movements for economic and social justice and
for a higher spiritual consciousness. The Center's purpose is to develop
structures & processes that can accelerate the social shift towards a
partnership society through research, education, lectures, tapes, books, the use
of mass media, the development of new partnership, economic models, and through
the nurturing and linking of people who are working to manifest the partnership
model. The center newsletter will bring news of Center projects & seminars
& also news of others working towards a more socially, economically, &
ecologically balanced world.

"The Witness is the only publication aimed at Episcopalians & the
Anglican Communion that embraces -- without equivocation -- the liberation
perspective that flows from the very core of Christian belief and values. We
side with Jesus' radical claim that every person, every creature, every part of
creation belongs to God and deserves the deepest respect and care... We care
about promoting peace and opposing the death penalty. We care about both the
welfare of children and workers. We oppose racial and class discrimination and
support the liberation cause of gay, lesbian, and transgendered people. We work
for economic justice and advocate a bioregional approach to the challenges of
globalization. Our mission is to help readers enlarge their awareness of life on
the planet in these times as a means of complementing -- and perhaps even
deepening -- their own individual passions and commitments"
