Sojourners in the News
Adam Russell Taylor, a Baptist minister and president of Sojourners, made the "Moral Budget Vigil" participants a promise: "We are going to make some holy noise today, OK?" Taylor was followed by dozens of speakers — some with a prophetic word; others offering pertinent verses of Scripture — occasionally punctuated by hymns.
Rev. Jim Wallis is the founder of Sojourners Magazine and the Sojourners Christian Community, and has been at the forefront of bringing together faith and social justice activism for decades, advocating for issues such as racial equality, poverty alleviation, peace, and environmental stewardship as a preacher, teacher, best-selling author, and theologian.
But the person behind many of the federal government cuts, Elon Musk, head of the so-called "department of government efficiency", called USAID a "criminal organization" and said that it was "time for it to die".
Adam Russell Taylor, the president of Sojourners, a Christian social justice group, said such remarks remind him of "the prophet Isaiah, who forewarned us that woe to you that call evil, good, and good, evil".
The resounding vigil chant directed toward Congress each week is simple: “What time is it?” asks Sojourners’ the Rev. Adam Taylor. “Time for moral courage,” we all chant back.
You are invited to join Faithful Witness Wednesdays throughout the month of March, as people of faith gather on the Capitol grounds to call on Congress to take action. Sign up for the March 19 or the Mach 26 events, which are organized by Sojourners and the Washington Interfaith Staff Community.
