Rev Bill

“My message to both parties - to both liberals and conservatives - is that protecting life is indeed a seamless garment. Protecting unborn life is important. Opposing unjust wars that take human life is important. And supporting anti-poverty programs that provide adequate support for mothers and children in poverty is important. Neither party gets it right; each has perhaps half of the answer. My message and my challenge are to bring them together.”
This quote is from Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourner’s magazine and author of several books — most recently the best selling God’s Politics. The quote is from an article he wrote in the weekly Sojourners e-zine — An Open Letter To Chuck Colson. Apparently Chuck Colson had criticisized some of Jim’s writings and statements. Jim contends that — among other things — he does not join ranks comepletely with liberals or conservatives — but sees life — all of life — as a precious gift from God — and we need to work to protect life in every way we can.

I like the way Jim thinks.
