Who is Jim Wallis?

I just saw his name for the first time reading Challie's Derek Webb interview and didn't know who they were referring to. Apparently the guy is quite critical of Christianity being taken over by Republicans. He's a big social justice guy. Anyone know anything more about this guy?

More of a Social Gospel guy. Gary North likes picking on him: Questions for Jim Wallis

I love this tidbit from North...


"The Social Gospel movement is committed to guns and butter: the government's guns and your butter. The more guns the government has, the less butter you will have. "

Love 'em or hate 'em, North will never be accused of lacking wit.

I need to head over to Derek's blog/site and post this link...

His organization puts out a magazine called Sojourners and they live in community in Washington D C. Their spirituality is like Bruce Cockburn's.
