We are an organization of individuals who are comfortable working in an interfaith context. We do not require members to belong to a religious organization.
Profiles of the BARCAT Leadership
LOUISE SPECHT, Convener. Louise has been working to end U.S. torture since the Abu Ghraib pictures came out. As a Protestant Christian, she references Matthew 25:40, “As you did to the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me”, to affirm that each of us is beloved in the eyes of God. As Convener of BARCAT, she works with members to create and carry out the vision of BARCAT.
GEOFFREY GASKINS, Communications Consultant. Geoffrey works with BARCAT to develop workshops, presentations, and web content. "Torture is evil and is, therefore, something about which people of faith cannot remain silent."
