Jim Wallis on Fresh Aire

Thanks to Jape and Anglican, I am listening to Jim on NPR. Talking about the need for justice. He made a great point about growing up in Detroit where his church told him that racism was unrelated to Christianity--that was a political question, and the issues of the faith were about personal issues. Wallis disagreed and still does. I understand that.

More from Jim.

Suggests that gay marriage is simply not the top issue in the church given what many feel is a theology of war coming out of the White House, and a theology of "righteous empire." I like that phrase and think it is well worth thinking about.
