Sojourners, a national Christian organization, is celebrating more than 40 years of faith in action for social justice. It has become an important movement within Christianity as it continues to "inspire hope and build a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church and the world." Recently, Sojourners has taken on crucial issues such as the global economic crisis, health-care reform, immigration reform, climate change, racial justice and issues of gender.
To this end, Sojourners held its first Summit, a gathering of 300 leaders, selected to ensure attendees from diverse fields and backgrounds who are committed to issues of social justice and social action from a Christian perspective. The Summit was held at Georgetown University on June 18-21, 2014. It created a conducive venue to share and discuss these pressing issues of our time and also empower the attendees to continue their efforts to engage in the work of Christ.
