About We Believe
Since November 2005, a group of over 100 pastors, priests, rabbis, cantors, and actively committed lay leaders from Roman Catholicism, two traditions of Judaism, Islam, and over fifteen Protestant denominations have met to discuss what we as people of faith can say as one voice speaking on behalf of the poor and on behalf of those who have a wide-ranging viewpoint on the intersection of faith and public policy.
We are racially diverse. We are men and women. We come from a wide range of theological diversity as well. We are conservative, moderate, and liberal on the spectrum of faith and public policy! We serve urban, suburban, and rural people in our houses of worship. We hold in common a deep and abiding love of the God whom we serve.
We also share in common our strong belief that we must act and speak in public ways to support the poor, the children, and those who are voiceless and un represented in our times. We will speak with love to power as we serve God in these times. We Believe Ohio is growing. More than 300 clergy across Ohio are getting involved. Central Ohio and Northeast Ohio have active We Believe groups!
