Jim Wallis is a heretic
“a network of progressive Christians”
Marxists.
Jim Wallis is a hateful human being.
Why are Marxists so touchy about being called what they are?
Why the hell do they call Jim Wallis an “evangelical leader”? What a joke. The guy is a Marxist hiding behind his church and exploiting religion to push a leftist agenda. Beck has earned more points in my book since Wallis has attacked him - must be doing something right.
tag for later cause I know what’s probably coming. /popcorn
CNN happy to report this about its ex-employee. Is CNN still on?
Oxymoron. Or maybe the ``Oxy'' is unnecessary.
Beck was absolutely right. “Social justice” is not the business of the churches.
The article is EXTREMELY vague about what this guy is teaching. The Bible does demand justice and caring for the poor. But I suspect this guy is preaching something different.
Sojourners Diversity Statement
In accordance with Sojourners’ mission to articulate the biblical call to social justice:
* We affirm the biblical truth of every human being’s inherent dignity and worth, as all people are created in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27)
* We affirm that in the Body of Christ there is no distinction or hierarchy according to racial, ethnic, gender, or social identity and economic status. (Galatians 3:28)
* We seek not to deny or erase the uniqueness manifest in God’s creation, but celebrate this diversity as essential to the unity and strength of Christ’s Body. (1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
* We believe that unity in diversity is not only desirable, but essential to fulfilling God’s ultimate desire for God’s people, as expressed in scripture (Acts 2, Revelation 7:9), and thus an essential element of seeking God’s will on earth as it is in heaven.
* We confess that both personal prejudice and systemic oppression are sin. We lament that we all have been both individually and corporately damaged by these sinful patterns, whether as perpetrators, victims, or both. (James 2:1-9; Isaiah 10:1-2)
* We humbly seek forgiveness, restoration, accountability, and healing through Christ, as we seek to be peacemakers answering God’s call to the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:16-19)
Building upon these biblical foundations, we commit ourselves to:
* Confront and dismantle discriminatory behavior wherever it may be manifest—whether individually or organizationally—by creating and maintaining policies and practices that foster right relationships among our staff.
* Intentionally seek partners, participants, and contributors to our programs, events, and publications that mirror the diversity of our churches and society, with special efforts to welcome those who are underrepresented.
* Employ, retain, and promote a diverse staff, leadership, and board of directors that mirror the diversity of our churches and society. Sojourners is an Equal Opportunity employer, committed to affirmative action in regard to women and minorities.
* Educate our staff by providing ongoing training and orientation that teaches the value of diversity and provides practical skills in building intercultural competency and gender equality, thereby strengthening our ability to relate meaningfully across differences of gender, race, and ethnicity.
* Empower a Diversity Task Force made up of a diverse array of Sojourners staff members to hold Sojourners accountable to its values and promote initiatives related to diversity.
* Publicly advocate for civil rights and legal non-discrimination to protect the safety and dignity of all people.
* Continually seek personal, organizational, and social transformation, guided by scripture, humbly listening to those marginalized by society’s past and present patterns of discrimination.

Can someone explain to me how social and economic justice is not at the heart of Jesus' message?
I'm not being snarkastic. I really want to know. If Jesus was not preaching this, then what was he preaching?
Beck better watch out - he’s going to lose 20, maybe 30, viewers.
Wallis is an ecumenical RAT trying to co-opt evangelicalism. Evangelicalism . . . as in the movement OUT of the heresy from the mainline denominations over the last 40-50 years.
“Wallis says at least 20,000 people have already responded to his call to boycott Beck.”
Like any of these people watched Beck to begin with...bet he’s shaking in his boots!
Yeah 20,000 idiots who don’t watch Beck to begin with. Good start! The more you hatem the more I like em.
ALl of these years, and I did not know the Lord was a Commie - or is it just the preacherman????
ROTFL!!!! Flip Wilson used to call it, "The Church of What's Happening Now". Have it your way "religion".
Jim Waliis likes to CALL himself an Evangelical — but there is NO such thing as the “Evangelical Left.” Sorry, NO SALE.
