"Responding to the pressing needs to reconstruct

our global economic and political life in rational ways to prevent ecological disaster cannot happen until there is a fundamental change in the way that we in the West, and particularly in the United States, organize our own societies and control our multinational corporations. And that won't happen until we have a powerful spiritual movement that can speak to the hunger for meaning and purpose and win people over to a progressive spiritual perspective.

-Rabbi Michael Lerner, The Left Hand of God, pg. 363
