Dear friends,
Imagine walking into your local library, planning to read a modern Orthodox theologian or the Church Fathers.
But instead of finding such important and popular titles, you discover that the religion section had been decimated - stripped of any book that did not appear on a small government-approved list.
That's exactly what's happening right now to inmates in federal prisons under a new Bush administration policy. As The New York Times put it, they "have been quietly carrying out a systematic purge of religious books and materials that were once available to prisoners in chapel libraries."
I've just sent a message to the Federal Bureau of Prisons protesting this absurd policy. Will you join me?
