Jim Wallis of Sojourners to speak in Santa Cruz

From Wikipedia: Reverend Jim Wallis (born June 4, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan) is a Christian writer and political activist, best known as the founder and editor of Sojourners magazine and of the Washington, DC based Christian community of the same name. Wallis actively eschews political labels, but his advocacy tends to focus on issues of peace and social justice, earning him his primary support from the religious left. Wallis is also known for his opposition to the religious right's fiscal and foreign policies, and for his oft-repeated thematic statements such as, "The monologue of the religious right has ended, and a new dialogue has begun."
