Dear Friends,
Some updates--cause we have some great new developments and we want you all
to know.
- *Radically Catholic*: the book is now available on Amazon
<http://www.amazon.com/Radically-Catholic-Age-Francis-Anthology/dp/0692409777/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428207433&sr=8-1&keywords=radically+catholic>
and will shortly be on Kindle. Thus both e-books and print copies will be
available. The title has a Creative Commons license so we do occasionally
send out PDF copies at no charge. We don't intend to be too fussy about
this free vs paid. The Lord will provide. (Only question is: who will
provide until the Lord provides. Old Jewish joke, never mind.) So you'll be
getting a nice shiny new paperback in the mail soon if you will do us ONE
FAVOR: we need your SNAILMAIL ADDRESS. So please hit Reply here when you're
done reading and send me your address, hokay?
- Review copies are going out to a number of pubs--New Republic, First
Things, the Nation, American Conservative, Road and Track, Parakeet Lovers
Quarterly (forget those last two), etc.
- The release of the Radically Catholic anthology is likewise the
announcement of our foray into publishing with Solidarity Hall Press. (So
feel free to ponder future publishing projects and then pitch us your
ideas.)
- Besides going into publishing, we are taking some steps toward forming
local civic action groups--called C-Labs--which will extend our lofty
localist/crunchy con/distributist/new urbanist principles down to ground
level. Here in what you might called benighted, embattled Indiana, I've
already had the first couple of meetups of an embryonic C-Lab in a local
coworking space. More to say about all this soon but just wanted to alert
you we're moving into community organizing, just so you can shock your
families.
- We are also filing for 501c3 non-profit status for Solidarity Hall in
hopes that a fund-raising campaign will allow us to do lots of interesting
new things--such as pay people at least something, occasionally.
- And finally, we are relaunching the website
<http://www.solidarityhall.org> (check thou it out!) and are hoping to
restore its traffic via new posts, excerpts from our various new
publications in the works, etc.
So we're publishing and getting into community renewal--thanks to the
inspiration of all you wonderful folk, many of whom I've not broken bread
with--yet. If we can raise some geetus, we could fund some nice meetups in
posh digs around the country. Here's hoping.
Easter blessings!
Elias
P.S.
Snail mail addresses, please!
