'''Jim Wallis''' (born June 4, 1948) is an [[Evangelical Christian]] writer, and the editor of ''Sojourners Magazine''. Wallis is also known for his criticism of the fiscal and foreign policies advocated by the religious right.
'''Jim Wallis''' (born June 4, 1948) is a [[progressive evangelical]] writer, and the editor of ''Sojourners Magazine'', whose primary support is from [[leftist]]s, incl. [[Anti-Christian sentiment|Anti-Christian]] radical [[socialist]] [[George Soros]]. In an interview for ''Mission Tracks'' Wallis expressed his hope that ''"more [[Christians]] will come to view the world through [[Marxist]]s eyes."''
Wallis became active in the [[civil rights movement]] as a young man in the 1960s. He graduated from Michigan State University, and then attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois where he joined with other young seminarians in establishing the community that eventually became Sojourners.
==Sojourners==
Sojourners is basically an interfaith [[syncretistic]] movement that hides behind their version of the [[gospel]], which promotes [[environmentalism]] and [[humanism]]. It quotes people like [[Gandhi]], the [[Dalai Lama]], and [[new age]] leader [[Marianne Williamson]] and emphasizes environmental activism, social justice, [[diversity]], and immigration.<ref name="FIORAZO2012">{{cite book |author=David Fiorazo |title=ERADICATE: Blotting Out God in America |publisher=Life Sentence Publishing |place=Abbotsford, WA |year=2012 |chapter=11.Social Justice and the Bible |pages=268+ |isbn=978-1-62245-026-8 |url=http://davidfiorazo.com/2013/02/introduction-to-eradicate-blotting-out-god-in-america/ |quote=Where's Wallis?}}</ref>
=="Reverend"==
Wallis became active in the [[civil rights movement]] as a young man in the 1960s. He masquerades behind the label of "Reverend" to deceive uninformed evangelicals and others when in reality he belongs among people like [[Al Sharpton]] and [[Jesse Jackson]], who are diehard leftist, social activists, and agitators. Wallis' progressive gospel based on advance of [[Liberal Theology]] may offer government handouts, but it does little for a personal relationship with the living [[God]].<ref name="FIORAZO2012"/>He graduated from Michigan State University, and then attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois where he joined with other young seminarians in establishing the community that eventually became Sojourners. During his college years, Wallis also joined the [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS), a radical organization that aspired to overthrow America's institutions in a Marxist image.<ref name="FIORAZO2012"/>
==Call to Renewal==
Reverend Wallis is also the convener of ''Call to Renewal'', an interfaith [[syncretistic]] effort pretending to seek ending poverty. It was founded in 1995 for the purpose of advocating for leftist economic agendas such as tax hikes and wealth distribution.
In 2005 Wallis met with [[Democrats|Democratic]] [[Senator]]s i.a. for purpose of devising clever ways to use religious language in political speeches in order to pull evangelical voters away from [[Republican]]s. Consequently, in next year (2006) he claimed ''"to make abortion reduction a central [[Democratic Party]] plank in this election."'' However, since six years later abortions continued without change, he clearly either failed or lied.<ref name="FIORAZO2012"/>
== Participating in Obama administration==
In 2009, Jim Wallis was appointed to Obama administration to serve on the Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood partnerships. From a White House platform, he attacked Christian [[conservative]]s while calling himself "nonpartisan evangelical minister." Wallis is popular among secularist liberals who routinely vilify Christians for their involvement in political issues.<ref name="FIORAZO2012"/>

* ''God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It'' (2005)
