History
It was formed June 15, 2004, with raised $36,000 to place an advertisement on Arabic-language satellite television expressing regret to Muslims for the abuse committed by Americans at Abu Ghraib prison."A Salaam A'alaykum ['Peace be with you' in Arabic]. As Americans of faith, we express our deep sorrow at abuses committed in Iraqi prisons. We stand in solidarity with all those in Iraq and everywhere who demand justice and human dignity. We condemn the sinful and systemic abuses committed in our name, and pledge to work to right these wrongs."

Allies and Components
It received initial strategic guidance from Res Publica and True Majority, to develop its capability for faith-based online activism. Faithful America was previously hosted by the National Council of Churches in Christ (NCCC). In August 2007, Faith in Public Life became host of this vibrant online community.
