This page is still under development, but I've listed here some of the important websites for me.  
 

The Eighth Day Faith Community, one of the scattered communities of Church of the Saviour in Washington DC, has been an important church home for me.

The Potter's House Bookstore and restaurant, also the meeting place for several of the Church of the Saviour faith communities. It's an excellent little bookstore where (hint, hint) you can buy any of my books, Healing the Wounds, Not All of Us Are Saints, and Urban Injustice.

TomDispatch is a blog maintained by my good friend and editor, Tom Engelhardt. It is also, I think, one of the best places to go for a regular essay on the condition of America in the world, especially about foreign policy, the "war on terror," environmental issues, and other like materials. Sign up and Tom will send you a link three or four times a week to a new posting, often written by excellent writers he solicits.

The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities is the best comprehensive site for excellent articles about poverty policy issues. Within hours of a new bill or proposal, they will have an analysis up that explains in terms most of us can understand what it's all about.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics is a government site that is a goldmine of important statistics about the epidemic of incarceration that has increased our prison population over 7 times since 1975 and gives us the highest rate of incarceration of any country in the world. It is especially unjust for African Americans and Hispanics.

The US Census Bureau operates a site for poverty statistics that can be especially helpful.

Sojourners magazine is an evangelical Christian montly magazine that writes especially powerfully about politics, poverty, peace, and other important issues from a faith perspective.

Jens Soering is a German citizen who is currently serving two life terms in southern Virginia for a double murder a don't believe he committed. In addition to being a personal friend I try to visit regularly, he has become a powerful author, his three books and many articles covering centering prayer, prison reform, and the historical relationship between Christianity and the imprisoned.
