Shalom Center and Free Time
 
I came across a kindred organization, The Shalom Center. This group is tackling the problem of lack of free time. To quote its leader, Rabbi Arthur Waskow:
"Three years ago, The Shalom Center brought together a multi-religious group to explore the isues of overwork and the lack of time for rest, spiritual reflection, family, and community in America. The group came to the conviction that many of the major problems in environmental and social policy and in the weakening of volunteer grass-roots citizen action stem from the constriction of free time in American society."
