In his new book, The Left Hand of God: Taking Back Our Country from the Religious Right, Lerner calls on the Left to listen to the spiritual needs of the American people, give up its fear of religion, and to distinguish between a domination oriented, Right-Hand-of God tradition and a more compassionate and hope-oriented Left-Hand-of God worldview. Michael Lerner will discuss politics and religion and his eight-point progressive spiritual covenant at St. Joan of Arc Church, 4537 Third Ave. S., Minneapolis. Co-sponsored by the Vincent
