It would be difficult not to have heard this book discussed and /or
argued on radio and TV. In introducing the book Wallis writes: "The
values of politics are my primary concern in this book. Of course, God
is not partisan; God is not a Republican or a Democrat. When either
party tries to politicize God, or co-opt religious communities for their
political agendas, they make a terrible mistake. The best contribution
of religion is precisely not to be ideologically predictable nor loyally
partisan. Both parties, and the nation, must let the prophetic voice of
religion be heard. Faith must be free to challenge both right and left
from a consistent moral ground."
There's much to discuss. The group is usually not shy about expressing
opinions but also very good at carefully listening to one another. All
are welcome.
God's Politics is readily available at bookstores.
