The Texas Faith Network is a project of the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund. It is a statewide group of more than 600 mainstream religious leaders. Members of the Faith Network work towards the following objectives:[5]

  • Involving religious leaders in the political process at the Texas Legislature and the State Board of Education;
  • Working with the media to ensure that the religious right is not the only representative of people of faith in the news;

  • Training people of faith to speak with an effective religious voice on issues facing our communities.
