Jim Wallis, an author, theologian and commentator on ethics and public life, discusses the connection between faith and politics
Jim Wallis, CEO of Sojourners, talks about biblical justice. He says that worship is an act of justice and justice is an act of worship. But what is justice? Simply put, it is making things right. Restoring broken relationships – relationships between people, groups, structures, systems, the land, and God. Restoring rightness. Wallis challenges young Christians to decide what is wrong in the world. What has God put on your heart that has you agitated? What is not right? Name it, share it with others, engage it, and figure out how to make it right. This is what God is calling us to.

Ryan often says it is "morally wrong" not to address America's debt, but faith leaders like Bishop Gene Robinson said the budget Ryan crafted fails basic moral tests...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur on how Republicans pretend to care what religious leaders think on issues like contraception but completely ignore them on issues actually in the Bible and spoken about by Jesus (helping the poor and less fortunate).
