Today I interviewed with Joy Heine of the National Interfaith Council for Worker Justice (NICWJ) for a spot in the 2004 Seminary Summer internship program (see flyer pdf). If accepted (I'll know next week), I will spend 10 weeks doing labor-organizing to build partnerships between local unions and religious communities. I'm UTTERLY excited by this program because worker justice is one of the ways in which I believe congregations should be most active: it means entering the struggle for economic justice in the most fundamental way. Seminary Summer promises to exhaust its participants - it seems very similar to SummerLinks at UChicago, which makes it even more alluring.
I'll keep you posted as this develops.
