There's an evangelical pastor in Washington, DC, Jim Wallis, who said something that has always stuck with me: we don't need to go further to the left, we don't need to go further to the right, we all just need to go deeper.
With less than two weeks remaining until Election Day, I'd like to ask you to do something radical: STOP. That's right - just stop. A pretty uncommon ask from a politician, eh? Politicians are usually asking us to DO something. I'm asking you to take a few minutes and just stop.

Simultaneously, the intellectual corner of the intersection between religion and politics is being dominated by liberal thinkers like Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo. They always seem to be hawking new books and ideas subtly implying that Christians should think like Democrats. Even semi-conservative Catholic scholars like Gary Wills are penning New York Times best-seller titles that make Jesus seem like a bona fide Democrat. Almost no one on the conservative side seems well positioned to join this cerebral debate.

Jim Wallis, editor in chief of the liberal evangelical magazine Sojourners, who has counseled the Democrats since the 2004 election, has argued there exists an up-for-grabs swing group of evangelicals who reject a values debate narrowly defined by Republicans on abortion and gay marriage.
“When Jesus has somehow become pro-rich, pro-war and only pro-American, many of us feel that our faith has been stolen, and it’s time to take it back,” Wallis, author of God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It, wrote last year in The American Prospect.
