Sojourners is a Christian ministry whose mission is to proclaim and practice the biblical call to integrate spiritual renewal and social justice.
Sojourners has an excellent email newsletter, SojoMail which “brings you weekly insight and inspiration to help you practice spirituality and values at work, at home, in your local community and on the go.”
From their website: “We articulate an alternative vision to that of the Religious Right. In the public mind, “evangelical” is often synonymous with conservative-to-reactionary politics. The Religious Right (as it is popularly referred to in the U.S.) traffics with abandon within Baptist life, manipulating our people’s fears, insecurities and theological confessions much the way the “false prophets” did in ancient Israel. Security of faith gets confused with security of the nation. Gods of metal—this time in the form of nuclear warheads— come to be seen as the most effective agents of the one true living God. If a different word is to be spoken, it will most effectively be done from within our institutions, our history, our religious culture and language. ”
This site is concerned about how the Gospel and Scripture are (mis-)represented in popular culture, religious media and the churches, and how truth in general is mis-represented by the neo-conservative wealthy elite in the current administration and in other key segments of our cultural and national life.
