All year I've been meaning to crank up a faith-and-politics book salon over here, but I've just never been able to carve out the time. Luckily, the good folks at Firedoglake are hosting one for my new neighbor Robby Jones, author of the recently released Progressive & Religious, which draws on almost 100 interviews with Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Buddhist leaders working to transform public life. I've worked with Robby on several projects and found his insight and expertise remarkable.

It'll be moderated by Sarah Posner, author of God's Profits and journalist who churns out The American Prospect's weekly must-read Fundamentalist column. I met Sarah at last year's Values Voter Summit and have spoken with her regularly ever since. If our conversations are any indication, expect a great discussion of Robby's book.

Saturday, Firedoglake.com, 5-7 pm. I will be there, and I hope you join us.
