When the social action group Faith in Indiana decided to reach out this session to state legislators on issues most important to those who are marginalized, health care easily landed among the top four.
Every Tuesday for the past month, a small cadre from the statewide group, a local affiliate of the California-based Faith in Action, has gathered at the statehouse to share their perspective on an issue that impacts those in their congregations.
The group has talked to legislators about a variety of topics, from payday lending to childhood imprisonment to treatment rather than incarceration for those who are mentally ill.
