Jim Wallis is a best-selling author, public theologian, speaker, preacher, and international commentator on religion and public life, faith and politics. He is president and CEO of Sojourners, where he is editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine.
In this 2006 talk recorded live at Greenbelt, Jim Wallis recognizes that religious fundamentalists scare us with their interpretation of faith and politics, while secular fundamentalists are scared of faith having any impact. One doesn’t speak for us, while the other wants us to be quiet. Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and pro-Republican? And since when did promoting and pursuing a progressive social agenda with a concern for economic security, health care, and educational opportunity mean you had to put faith in God aside? There is an exciting alternative. Greenbelt is a Christian music and arts festival in the United Kingdom first held in 1974 that attracts around 19,000 festival-goers.
