We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For

I almost didn't find out about this. Jim Wallis, founder and editor of Sojournors magazine, and author of God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It, will be speaking at Loyola University in Chicago next week. This is a very good thing and you should go hear him if you live in Chicagoland. I was fortunate enough to get to hear Wallis speak earlier this year (thanks Natalie!). The things he has to say are very thought-provoking and life-altering. If you care about poverty and social justice, and if you've grown weary of the Religious Right, this one's for you. Here's the skinny: One Nation Under Whose God?
