http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.homeOne of their articles this month is "Hearts & Minds: Take Back the Faith" ...The best contribution of religion is precisely not to be
a loyal partisan... by Jim Wallis
and "Macrowave: The Machine Ate My Vote"
A previous issue covered the neocon push for empire with Bush on the cover dressed in Roman military regalia.
The founders of this journal (both print and online) are Evangelical Christians working for social justice, and to say that they are troubled by how their religion has been hijacked by extremists would be an understatement. They see Bush and his supporters very clearly indeed.
Just knowing they exist has given me hope that our country can work its way out of this mess. The people of Sojourner and The Interfaith Alliance (I get e-mail from both) are working hard against the toxic polarization that has beset our country, and I've been pleased to periodically forward articles and action alerts from them -- especially to friends who are despairing or wrathful over the influence of the extreme right wing Christians on our government.
