One More 'Moral Value': Fighting Poverty
Philocrates discusses an article in the New York Times called "One More 'Moral Value': Fighting Poverty". He says "John Leland doesn't start with Jim Wallis, but Wallis captures the essence of the story:"In postelection analyses, "values voters" were often equated with evangelical Christians, just as "values" were equated with opposition to abortion and gay marriage. But evangelical churches and seminaries have become increasingly mobilized around poverty both in the United States and abroad.
"This is the great secret story," said Jim Wallis, a progressive evangelical who runs Sojourners magazine and Call to Renewal, a network of religious groups committed to combating poverty.
"The perception of evangelicals is that all they care about is abortion and gay marriage, but it isn't true," he said. "It hasn't been for years."

Philocrites here:
Are you the Paul who asked Jim Wallis a question at Trinity Church this afternoon and identified himself as a UU?
