Progressives & Faith

If you are a person of faith, and a progressive, then I urge you to visit the Sojourner's website. Started by Jim Wallis, it is an inspiring collection of faith-based opinion on every imaginable issue from politics to poverty to justice to creation, with a refreshing and positive twist.

I went to the site to help cleanse my brain after seeing a report on our local news about a Kalispell Baptist church pastor who is calling the US an abomination now that Obama has been elected. He claims we are on a path of wickedness and that people of faith should not commune with the wicked (see liberals). I pray God helps this poor delusional and hate-filled man. I cannot begin to understand how he can interpret the bible in such a way. I am sad for him.

So, off the the Sojourner's site I went. And now I am uplifted and rejuvenated by their inspiring words and glad hearts. Bless them.
