I recently had the privilege of speaking with Jim Wallis, President and founder of Sojourners, a Christian organization committed to faith in action for social justice, Jim Wallis is also the author of “On God’s Side: What Religion Forgets and Politics Hasn’t Learned about Serving the Common Good,” a New York Times best seller. That book encourages Christians to love their neighbors and thereby serve the common good. Jim believes the good news of Jesus not only transforms our personal but also our public lives.
Our own work to help the “least of these” is a model for family, church and community— our mission directly ties to the common good of people who have been marginalized--expectant parents, unborn children, refugees, youth who age out of the foster care system—strengthening families.
