Sojourner and Beliefnet Launch God's Politics Blog

Posted on September 18, 2006

There is a new blog on Beliefnet called God's Politics. The blog is a partnership between Sojourner and Beliefnet. Jim Wallis, founder/CEO of Sojourners/Call to Renewal, is leading the discussion on God's Politics. The blog has kicked off with a debate between Wallis and former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed about what values voters should value the most.

Wallis told the AP, "We must insist that the ethics of war - and whether we tell the truth about going to war - these are moral values issues too."

Jim Wallis is also the author of the New York Times bestseller God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (HarperCollins, 2005) -- which is where the name of the blog comes from. It is a clever title for both the book and the blog. Wallis is joined by other liberal evangelical bloggers at God's Politics including Brian McLaren, Amy Sullivan, Tony Campolo, Noel Castellanos, Robert Franklin, Diana Butler Bass, Sister Helen Prejean, Ron Sider, and others.
