James G. White - Faith Partners

Faith Partners

In 1994, White co-founded Faith Partners with Trish Merrill (now Johnson Institute Vice President). Faith Partners is a group that works together with the National Interfaith Alliance Against Substance Abuse to support local communities in their efforts stop substance abuse. They stress religious tolerance to help negate "extremists" who are a threat to freedom and democracy. Johnson Institute became an early investor in Faith Partners, and in 2004 Faith Partners merged with the Johnson Institute and the Rush Recovery Center.

Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or partners:

    We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one’s partners in the waltz of this world—not much remembered when the ball is over.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
